I get that DeMar feels insulted about being traded but bitching and moaning about it to the press makes him look weak and unprofessional. No one likes rejection but in the series' with the Cavs he's proven without a shadow of a doubt that he's not a #1 option or strong enough leader for a contender. He's very talented but he just does not rise to the occasion and so he cannot elevate others. He needs to change his game a little and settle into being a 3rd option on a really good team.

He just finished saying he played as hard as he possibly could while in Toronto. This sort of takes the power out of that statement.

Masai obviously tried his hardest to keep DeMar and Kyle out of the trade, but he HAD to do it. I personally couldn't sit through another season knowing how this episode ends. 3 out of the last 4 off-seasons have ended in embarassing sweeps. The other one wasn't a sweep because the Cavs clearly took their foot of the gas and we celebrate that ECF appearance like we won the Super Bowl. The KL/DD/Casey core was mentally flawed, or simply not good enough. Something had to be done.

I don't feel like we owed DeMar a job for life. We built a fool's gold system to hide his flaws on both sides of the court and he benefitted disproportionately than the rest of the team because of it. Now he's acting like he's as good as Kawhi and throwing it back in the franchise's face. Really disappointed in Demar... it's a bad look.

Between the blowback he's got from this trade and the Casey firing, I think the days of Masai giving his employees a long leash are over."Stop eating your sushi."
"I do actually have a pair of Uggs."
"I've had three cups of green tea tonight. I'm wired. I'm absolutely wired."
