Concur wholeheartedly. I can never understanding why teams talk shit on their own player and then are surprised when they can’t get the trade value they expected for that same player.

Gianna hits the nail on the head here. Deadspin/Patrick Redford is perpetuating Rosenthal’s piss poor journalism with a confusing presentation of the facts. Patrick, do the right thing and re-write the first two grafs.

Or Lebron is a damn genius and got the W’s sparkplug tossed for game 5. The only thing that would have made it better is if he had pulled a full Anderson Varejo and writhed in pain holding his nutz after D’s ball tap.
