Can you really blame him for not wanting to play in Toronto?

I don't blame him for not wanting to come up but I can blame him and lose respect for him for actually not coming here. I would have a lot more respect for Mourning if he would have just come up played or even sat on the bench and shown up to practice while waiting for a trade release.
What drives me up the wall is not that he was released because that was inevitable as soon as the trade went through but I think he could have acted like a professional and shown up in TO and tried to do a little bit to help the team while he waited for his move. He could have at least come up and gave some pointers to guys like Bosh and Araujo. If he had done that I think he may have been moved or released earlier and would have looked like a professional and earned a lot of respect from me and I imagine others as well. [/b][/quote]
Strangest thing is 'Zo spends his summers in TO, has a home there as well.
Pathetic... this definately isn't getting the play in the headlines that it should be getting.
Also with the heat rumors... WHY didn't they trade him to the Heat and send some cash with him, maybe 6-7 million to cover the expenses?
