They did not want to pay 40m/year to somebody who is injured every season.

Last night before the game, Thibs said OG had an MRI and his elbow is not reinjured, just sore, and he's going to be ok. That was good news.

I mean, they won a championship with him in a substantial role. But then the team changed. They had a thousand forwards and didn't sort things out fast enough. I gather he wanted out for a better role.

It's not the reason why they should pursue Bridges. Bridges should be the #1 priority even if OG never misses a game again.

He did not play a single minute during the championship playoff run. He was injuried like he normally is.

His appendix burst before the 2019 playoffs. Does that qualify as injury prone? He played in every Raptors playoff/ play-in game since then.

It is always something with OG. Even if you disregard the championship run OG is an injury prone player for sure.
