That's not JB's fault that is Cuban's for taking the gamble.
I will admit I was not a believer in JB early in his career but dude just kept getting better and under Kidd he just seemed to play with more confidence in his abilities.
So I wish him the best of luck because he didn't do anything wrong he was a UFA.
IN fact didn't Cuban take a similar gamble with Nash and he left kind of the same way as JB left.

Fans are upset with JB because fans will collectively always take the side of ownership against players. It is the American mentality to favor ownership over labor even if 99.99 percent will never be the ownership class. We are conditioned to tell the players to "shut up and dribble" while happily funding the owners stadiums with tax dollars (I guess that isn't considered welfare). We fancy ourselves as the billionaires instead of the more attainable millionaires.
