=============================================
Turns out dude just folded on his team. This is fine news for us either way:
1. They trade him for less value. Team loses a lot of defense, youth, and a long valuable contract. They already lost a good young player in the harrington deal, depending on whom they trade him for this could be a major loss of toughness and we know how important that is to a Carlisle team.
2. They keep him, and now that this has leaked its gonna cause a lot of chemistry issues. Word was dude had his head on straight, but this just shows that at any time he could just go off. Rick is not a good coach at dealing with personal problems. It took him two seasons to wear thin in Det with a good core of people. This could become a major issue this year.
