If a player doesn't want to play for an organization any longer, I have no problem with what they do to force the hand of the organization to trade them. You hope a simple request by the player to the team gets the job done but sometimes other things have to be said and done. So be it.
I don't consider those players quitters. I consider them pkayers that don't want to work for their employer anymore. They owe nothing to the other employees at that organuzation whether that be front office people, medical staff, training staff, coaching staff or players. They owe it to themselves to let it be known they want to play someplace else.
So no Kawhi is not a quitter. Neither is Kyrie. Neither is Greg Monroe. Neither is Eric Bledsoe. Neither is Carmelo Anthony. Neither is Dwyane Wade. Neither is any player that asked for a trade, requested a trade, requested a buyout and received one or stopped playing until they forced a trade.
As for the Saric and Fultz and picks being better than Tatum and Rozier and picks, I will let you know my opinion on that after I stop laughing.
