I suppose one could assume losing his starting job was part of the thought process, too, but it's not like he was even a starter here for most of that season. I have always felt like there must've been more to it, as in he didn't get along with Kidd, or Luka, or something like that. Obviously that's just speculation, but dude fit perfectly here and they were coming off of a finals berth. It doesn't seem like squeezing such a minor extra amount out of his next contract should've been so important. If it was the determining factor, I think he might just "not get it."
He was the starter from day one. He started all but 10 games in the regular season and every game in the playoffs. I definitely think that was the reason he went to LA.
