Bottom line, it's all about that SuperMax deal. They weren't going to commit that much money to a player that was nonchalant about his conditioning and diet. And also, it would hamper them from building out the roster around him. Boston is a good example. Tatum and Brown have max deals. They're window for winning another title is going to close within the next 2 years, and they're currently for sale because of those huge deals and their role players, White, KP, Pritchard, Holiday, etc. It's not sustainable.
