Well some people DIDN'T want him back. I wasn't one of them, i'm on record saying I wanted him back, but if he didn't want to come back he was gonna have to leave money on the table.

But there were PLENTY of people who didn't want him back, just like a bunch of people were demanding he be traded before the trade deadline. Like I said in another thread people are talking out of both sides of their necks. Now yall are saying "yall hating on Dwight cause he left you" while at the same time saying "No wonder Dwight left, Lakers fans didn't appreciate him".

Dude was hurt, but he also flat out wasn't playing hard at times and MULTIPLE people called him out for it. I think initially he wanted to be here but a combination of Jim Buss being a dumbass and realize Lakers fans weren't going to kiss his ass just existing made him reconsider. I think he had made his mind up about everything before the playoffs even began.

What evidence do you have that he just flat out wasn't playing hard?

Dude was having 20-20 games with a bad back and torn labrum and still played 76 games

I'm not saying he wasn't playing hard every second of every games, but there were CLEARLY games and moments where he'd completely check out because he wasn't able to score.

As I said Nash, Kobe, D'Antoni, and I think even Jamison all called him out for not playing hard.

It's not even the first time someone has called him out for that because Stan Van Gundy used to call him out for that shyt in Orlando (before his back injury).

I'm saying you got evidence where they called him out for not playing hard?

Not that I'm willing to go digging for right now. It's mostly stuff from post game and practice vids.

I'll look for them and post them later.
