We have seen many times over the years the issues that come from these public proclomation by players and GMs. They can turn into media battles, then can become distractions and they can become bigger issues. To me it doesn't matter who starts it, neither side should be using a public forum for these issues. No matter how mild it may be. If Colangelo wants to talk about how Jose wasn't happy and wanted to be traded after the fact to explain the trade, by all means. But there is no reason to bring it up, especially when not even asked about it.
And for the life of me I fail to see how we can use Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony as examples and proceed to say that its a good idea for GMs to do it. If anything they are prime examples of the problems with using the public forum for their internal issues, on both sides.
And just for clarity, Jose's displeasure was brought up by Colangelo before Jose's agent addressed the media about it. He was questioned because of Colangelo's statement. Not the other way around.
