You're probably not wrong. He was deeply committed to that franchise, and was one he followed as a child. I remember seeing him in interviews days after the trade and it looked like nothing in his world made sense any longer. He was shook for sure, and said as much.
I don't think that should give him a pass for his terrible play since then, but a sports psychologist could probably write a best selling book purely by analyzing him.
