While I 100% agree with the sentiment that he should not be able to dictate a trade to a team of his choosing, I am skeptical that owners/GMs will take a chance on him being a distraction. I believe he will end up in Miami. Heat will send out Lowry and Robinson, Blazers will buyout Lowry's contract and he will then sign with the Lakers (because everyone wants to play for the Lakers) or maybe go back "home" to the Raptors.

The genie was let out of the bottle a long time ago. Players dictate. Owners cower in the corner.
