Everyone keeps making the argument that it's been building for soooo long -and it probably has. Well, he should have done this when free agency began in the 2019 offseason. 
That would be the more professional method. This method, while becoming more common has long been viewed as the "diva" approach.

I lean more on the side of player empowerment. It's a brutal sport and careers are damaging, if you don't want to play somewhere and have the gravitas to move away from a terrible franchise then by all means leverage yourself to get away.  

How many players have wanted to get away from teams who generally handle all their business right? The average human wouldn't stay in a terrible situation if they can avoid it and neither should superstar athletes
