What was he supposed do? Wait for Dan Gilbert to get him help?
You see how inept that front office is.
I hope you're not one of those guys who think Jordan or Magic or Bird did it by themselves
Jordan had Pippen and Rodman.
Magic had a whole fukking Squad of ballers, including Big Game James and Kareem The God.
Bird had Mchale, Parish, Dennis
Isaiah had a squad of goons READY for war. We're not talking Lance "blowing in your ear like a fakkit" Stephenson. We're talking a Cac who would take your fukking head off and dare you to say something about it.
Lebron had Mo fukking Williams

Kobe became number one option status later in the title runs. Scottie was a number one option for a year and a half 
three dudes that if they split up tomorrow would go back to putting up 26, 27 a game. Nikkas who won rings already without Bron. That's that clown's teammates. Cheating azz muthafukka. Now compare that to Pau Gasol who would get murdered out there if he ever went back to being the first option
