I might be alone, and I realize what he did was kind of dickish. I don't feel people should hate him literally.
He was signed to a two-year contract. The Cavs agreed to sign him to that contract. A contract is a contract.
And it's not like 2 million dollars is pennies. He's retiring from a very lucrative career. I don't know about you, but I'd want my family taken care of going forward. So if Mo just wanted to collect that last paycheck, it's really hard to fault him for that.
Also, is it not possible he really wanted to truly come back? And it just came to realization that he really couldn't, given his knee?
I get being a little pissed, but hate the guy? Nah, come on. People change their minds all the time.
If he retired before the season on a "buyout" his money comes off the books because he retired.
It was a dick move.
