However, it seems that he's not upset about his contract so much as he's upset with his situation, and specifically his relationship with Sloan. He's lost all leverage, but in his mind it seems that leaving Utah is more important than salvaging any of that $63m. The worst thing he's done, imo, is to air his dirty laundry in public. A future team (either in the NBA or overseas) will have to keep this in mind (i.e., perhaps Sloan's not the problem at all; perhaps 'ak' is just tough to work with). But then again, as TO has shown, no matter how much of a character you are, if you're talented, someone will pay you to play. Agreed.
