Yes, that is what I mean. I understand if GM trades anybody to make team better, that is his job. But nobody should have anger when player leave his team for a better one.
Of course it's great story when player stays for whole career with one team like Dunkan or Dirk but they was lucky to get to good managed teams. Put them in Kevin Love role and they would probobly want to leave too.
