Part of the problem for some of these players is that the only way for them to get out of a bad situation is to make a public stink. You can call it unprofessional (in the cases of Kyrie, Simmons, and Harden, I'd absolutely agree), but they're also kinda stuck between suffering in a bad situation or looking like the bad guy in order to get out of it.

Lillard deserves better than to spend the rest of his career on a team that wasn't trying to win, but they weren't going to get rid of him unless he forced their hand.
