He was undeservedly benched in his third year as well. Almost two full years of Corbin crap is sufficient to alienate a player. Don't forget that Hayward was happy to jump the ship as well. Those all are mistakes which led to eventually getting 20 cents on the dollar which was my initial point...

- Karl Malone also publicly demanded a trade, yet somehow ended up staying as well as many other guys who either stayed or ended up traded for a fair price
- Nobody knew if Utah would match or not...
