Don't have free agency if players aren't allowed to go where they want.

IMO he wouldn't have caught the same grief if he went to Boston. Instead, he went to the winningest team of all time, which also happened to eliminate him from the playoffs in heart-breaking manner. The way he did it -- indicating to Russ and Collison and others in the franchise that he was staying -- is also a part of it. I'm a UT guy through and through, and even I have begun to dislike our most famous basketball alumn.
