Whatever.

The thing that Warrior fans are upset about isn't that he's leaving, but all the BS he fed in soundbytes about wanting to end his career here and about where his heart is. It's like the wrong way to handle a break-up. If you need to do what's best for yourself, then do it. But don't keep saying I love you and I want to be with you forever shortly before you go sprinting out the door. Even if it is for multimillions of dollars. I think I'm just disappointed in him because I do like him as a person.

Personally, outside of the fact he has to stop that mouth of his, I'm both sad and glad that he's gone. I wish they had gotten something in return, but I really didn't think they should commit a 5 year guaranteed deal to him, especially since he's not young, he doesn't have the best track record in terms of injuries, and he tends to play really well in contract years. The other years are a crapshoot.
