I realize that it would suck to get called into the office and told, "you've been traded to..." but it happens in sports and has been happening for decades. They all know this going in. If he doesn't like it then maybe he should choose another career or maybe he should have just kept his mouth shut about all this trade stuff, played the upcoming season with the Spurs and then left via free agency. He pretty much brought all this stuff on himself by saying, "I want to be traded." Did he expect San Antonio to just hand him over to whatever team he wanted? Imo he should just suck it up, collect his millions from Toronto, and go play in LA the following season.

Not sure what the argument here is. I'm fully aware the current system has been in place for decades, I'm saying it's flawed and it always has been.

My point is that the guy demanded a trade, and he got it. Now he's all upset that it wasn't to the team of his choice and he is threatening to sit out the season which could render the deal null and void. What if San Antonio thought that was their best deal? So now they have to take him back and try to work out a deal with the Lakers with pretty much no leverage because the Lakers know that they are his choice? Like I said before, he can go collect his millions in Toronto for 82 games and sign with the Lakers next off season if he so chooses.
