Of course I have some concerns but I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because he isn´t the first player to clash with Doc Rivers or the first player to ask for a trade. I think both sides handled the situation as bad as it gets.
Also think that he is aware of the consequences if he pulls of something similar on another team. That´s probably the end of his career or would at least prevent him from ever getting another big contract.
Without the concerns a player of his caliber would not be on the market. Three consecutive all star teams. Two all defense first teams. One all NBA 3rd team. All in the last three seasons. That´s a level above guys like KP, Ingram or Hayward.
