People misrepresented what Friedman’s report was too.
“Being open to a change of scenery” Does not equal “Trade me right now Treliving, I don’t want to be here”
Bennett is within his right to be open to a change of scenery, especially with how the coaching staff has handled him so far this year. Bennett is also an RFA and knows the writing is likely on the wall for him here with the expansion draft looming. I don’t blame him for wanting an opportunity to maybe go somewhere with a bigger role prior to all that.
I love Rhett but he’s not in that dressing room right now, and never played with any of the guys in that room. All other reports are that Bennett is actually a well liked guy in the room. We have no idea if the room doesn’t want him in the lineup, and it’s possible the room actually want him to stay here too.
So what would cause more issues in the room then? Bennett being frustrated with how’s he’s being used, or Ward being petty and taking it out on a guy who is well liked in that room.
Feels it me like Ward is the one mismanaging things here and really just proving Bennett’s point. His leash when he’s put in a good opportunity seems to be a lot shorter than anybody else’s leash.
Edit: To be clear Bennett or his agent should have never went to the media but being petty about it doesn’t help anybody. Figure it out, talk about it like adults, and move on. No need to be petty or hold a grudge.
