When players chose money you complain, when they try the easy way to a title you complain, now aguy says I don't care if I may get 6mil a year in Disneyworld and get an easy title, I love the game and I want to be the best NBA player I can be and play big minutes for a good team but no he is a rich player and he should just shut up and do whatever owners want?
I would like to see your reaction if your boss sends you to a city you don't want to be in for a role worse than what you could get elsewhere, I doubt you will be like hey, at least I have food better than people in Darfour....
He worked his entire life to be an NBA starting Center and the Magic GM just took that away from him so of course he is disapointed. He is not saying that he won't show up to camp or anything but allow a guy to express is displeasure for a moment. Jeez.
Wait, did this boss give me a chance in this company when I wasn't well known or particularly good at my job, and then give me an astronomical raise in salary to be in this city that I don't want to be in?
The only reason why he is "stuck" here is because we're the team that gave him his shot, and thus we got the right of first refusal, which is entirely appropriate as teams take risks on players a lot and lose out. Here, you're rewarded for taking and helping develop a player you thought would pay off.
Besides, if Gortat gets some legit range and consistent jumper, I don't know that starting is necessarily out of the picture, or at least an upgrade in minutes per game.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on Gortat. He has every right to
wish to be in the best possible position for himself, but that's how it goes. I hope this is just agent talk and that Gortat doesn't have any hard feelings, and just sucks it up and goes out there and earns his paycheck. His big paycheck.
