Agreed, so why hasn't he done that? Or why didn't he wait until he was traded to figure out if he wants to leave. The guy is un-ethically altering the terms of his deal to suit himself, manipulating the situation. Regardless of his reasons, or whether folks on here think "he's earned" the right to do so, it's exactly what he's doing.
