It’s not something he’s ever been through. He probably hasn’t negotiated a thing in his life. He’s been catered to for how long? He probably told them he wanted to play in Atlanta and get a fair deal. The agents tried to squeeze AA and he told them to bounce. Yes he should have been more involved but it’s easy to see how it happened.I still don’t get how he didn’t have more control over the process. I’ve never seen a guy talk as much about a free agency deal.
I have nothing to go on, but my perception is that he may have been such a nice guy that he couldn’t even tell his own agent no.It’s not something he’s ever been through.
