I keep seeing this over and over and my response is look inward. What's the common thread in all these lay down on the job to force a trade antics? An organization that doesn't have a clue how to build a winner. Terrell Owens saw his career spiralling down the tubes with a clue-less franchise and I'm afraid it's the same with these two. It says something about their character that their not just going to go through the motions and play out a string on a loser. They want to win. T-Mac is a model citizen now. I think you have to lay most of the blame at the feet of management for not selling them harder on the plan. But then you need a plan to sell. Couldn't the Magic have gone out and trade for Barry, James, Sura and Wesley? Sure they could have but they prefer to pick up broken down Hills and washed up Christies. And trade Ben Wallace. They are a poor judge of talent. Maybe it's something more but how the heck can you not sell a player on SoFla?

Several years ago Hakeem Olajuwon faked an injury to try and get hated out of Houston. The team doctor said his groin was fine. Then he bitched and bitched about the team and made himself into a villian (like McGrady did). Management told him to shut up and play. They said they weren't trading him no matter how much he cried. They were in charge. And he blinked. Two years later they started a fabulous championship run for back to back titles.
