Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4304450, member: 1969"] Big markets can tend to do that, because players want to go there and will overlook things. Becomes a little trickier when you are a small or mid-market team, when your push to a suitor is that the organization is strong and has a good and loyal culture. I will give you an example - in the summer of 2018 a big story amongst the US Media who almost always ignores the Raptors was how Masai Ujiri (Raptors GM) did Demar Derozan dirty. Demar went to the media and said that the Raptors had promised not to trade him -- which wasn't a totally fair representation of what happened. That cut-throat / disloyal narrative lingered for a while, even if it was inaccurate. [/QUOTE]
