I mean...I understand that and all...I know the rules...But again, it's technicalities...He could have signed the tender, like most do, and had a full off season with the teammates he claims to care about so much...I think that gesture would have gone a long way towards Byrd getting what he wanted in the long run...But he (or his agent) wanted to make a point...Just like a holdout does...Then on top of it the PF issue comes up after he misses all that time...It's tough for me to have any consideration for Byrd's rights beyond the fact that he pushed his agenda within the rules...I understand it was his right to do so...I still think it was petty...He pretty much lost me as a fan right there...
Sure he had every right...Everybody has the right to be a d-bag if they want to...
