if he sits out this season and doesn't play that we all know he isn't injured, he doesn't get paid. There are rules in place to protect teams from like this. He got over last season, but that won't happen this year. If they decide not to trade him, then that's their own stupidity. If a guy wants to go, you let him go. Don't try to keep him and talk it out. It's just like relationships. If a girl or guy wants to go, you let them go. Life lessons. You live and learn. And about the Kobe/Lakers situation before anyone brings it up, there is no doubt in my mind the league stepped in and made the Grizz give up Gasol for Kwame brown to keep Kobe in LA. There is no other explanation. And I know Marc Gasol was in the deal but at the time, he wasn't who he became.
