Disagree. I try to learn as much as I can about each player and enjoy watching their development over their 4 year career. This has become much more difficult in recent years and made the game less enjoyable for me. The transfer portal is good for the player but not me as a fan.
Who said anything about the transfer portal? Yes, we care about the players and hope for the best for them even after they are gone. But that's still because of the name on the front of the jersey. Grant Williams is evidently a wonderful human being, and I check the Celtics box score daily to see how he is doing. But I wouldn't be doing that if he had gone to North Carolina.
