I hope we move. This is a knock on him as a person, but basketball just doesn't seem important to him.
Honestly wonder if he even wants to play basketball next year with the amount of money the league is going to withhold in escrow. Hard to talk yourself into mailing it in for a paycheck for another year when the paycheck is a fraction of what you're used to mailing it in for.

I should have said "isn't a knock against him as a person". He seems like an eclectic soul which I dig, and he has a ton of interests which is cool. I just don't think basketball or maximizing his physical gifts is at the top of his important things list.
I don't think this is considered enough, especially regarding big men who have a modicum of athletic ability. A lot of them don't really want to be great basketball players, they just hit the genetic lottery and haven't found a most suitable career choice that makes up for the salary dropoff. You can Andray Blatche your way into a 9 year career in the NBA with very little effort if you're 7 feet tall and not a stiff.
