What do you do when a team you like keeps acquiring players you hate?

I think i was probably a Lakers fan for the longest time. Since day 1 of Magic. I was intrigued by getting Shaq. I liked drafting Kobe. But, then we 'got to know' them and i began to dislike them both. I dealt with it and enjoyed the championships. Now, there's Lebron, another player i just don't care for. So, my affinity has been eroded to almost nothing. I kinda switched to Golden State. But, i despise Draymond Green. Hoped he would be signed away by another team in his FA year. But, no. Another commitment to him. And now they've added Chris Paul. Ugggh.

I liked Clay. Until his antics this past season. And then Curry chucked his nasty mouthpiece into the stands, and never batted an eye in consideration that his spitty gear may have struck someone. Maybe i'm too sensitive, but stuff like that just works my nerves.

Sports are far more interesting/exciting when you have a hardcore passion for a specific team. I don't think i have that for anyone in the NBA or NFL anymore. I do for the RedSox, and for Merc in F1. But, with the NBA and NFL, i still watch a ton of games, but with dispassion.

Anyone else? Is it the player(s) or the 'laundry?' I used to start liking/following NFL teams when they had SU players playing for them. Didn't like the Eagles until McNabb. No interest in the Colts until Harrison. But, we don't put many/any prominent players into that league anymore...
