Well let's see:

Publicly tarred and feathered the Nuggets and was basically in cahoots with GSW during their playoff series.

Goes on a public book tour to lambast the Warriors (ya know, the franchise that gave him 3 rings and cemented any sort of legacy he has)

Tells a story about getting traded "to Memphis or some shit," and then goes on another press tour to claim that he's itching to play.

But sure, despite burning bridges everywhere (and not being willing to give up a penny in a buyout) he gets to tell an entire organization that he'll only play for a few teams. Ok.

Not saying that Memphis' plan was to move him all along, but they absolutely wanted him to join the team and decided it wasn't a battle worth fighting when he refused to do so.
