Yes, to a point. I think Pronger or Heatly demanding a trade while under conract is worse, Vince Carter quitting on court is much worse.
Signing as a free agent during free agency is not the same. The Cav's can't say they were blindsided by this, they were just in denial or bluffing (about being certain he'd return).
As for the Cav fans, it was an event for Heat fans, Knick fans, Bull fans, Clipper fans, and everyone else. But if you don't want to follow it then don't, watch the games and ignore the hype.
The real villian is the Bulls, Knicks, and every other team that mortgaged their future to sign him and made this such an ugly desperate spectacle.
