Of course little IT has to make it all about himself. LOL
You could say Kawhi did learn from Isaiah's "story". He chose not to play when felt his leg was less than a 100% despite pressure to return. Isaiah tried to play with a bum hip and plummeted his market value.
I love Isaiah but here's the thing: Isaiah wants to blame the Celtics and Cavs for their lack of loyalty. Thats fair I suppose. But these teams made an objective assessment of his health relative to his age and size and prognosis. If his hip was not an issue he either remains a Celtic, a Cavs, a Lakers or in the least signs for more than the minimum with the Nuggets!
Boogie wants to talk about loyalty too. Its a cop out in lieu of personal accountability. He talk lack of loyalty from the Kings and Pelicans. This is disingenuous. What is he saying? If you do NOT put up with my lazy defense and out of control temper my constant bickering with the refs, YOU ARE DISLOYAL. Am I getting it right? If you do not recognize the chronic debilitating nature of my hip injury or Achilles tear, YOU ARE DISLOYAL. Bull sh*t! Let's be real. Teams do a
risk reward analysis of ALL players and are loyal to degree this analysis is favorable. That's the nature of the business. Boogie and to lesser degree Isaiah wanted to personalize the way they are treated. They feel they have been aggrieved against. Loyalty is earned. It is not granted. Isaiah wanted or expected a team to shell out 150M to a 5'9" 30 year old PG with a bad hip? It is not a lack of loyalty that prevents his payday. It is unfortunate turn of events and timing. Same is true of Boogie with his injury though thats whole another ball of yarn I will save for another time.
