The dude is worried about getting even more money than the tens of millions that his contract is already for, and it might end up costing him those tens of millions.

 

Most likely when the practices become mandatory he shows up, especially once the team starts notifying him they're fining him and he'll be losing money even when he does show up to play. Either that or he's already done and he knows it so he won't show up until he gets guaranteed more money and the team will just end up cutting him before the season.

 

Either way Albert lost all of his leverage when the team drafted Cam, unless he's MJD of 2012 and knows he's got nothing left in the tank he'd be well advised to turn his attitude around.
