I don’t feel bad for him at all... he’s a 20 something year old millionaire who bounces a ball for a living for 6 months a year....
But you can see him at the end of games, he's pretty obviously not happy in his current situation. Yes, he chose it, yes he signed the contract.
But I don't know why we have this refusal to just have any sympathy whatsoever for a dude who is pretty obviously just not happy with his job. If money and playing basketball was all that was required to be happy, then he'd be happy, but it's obvious not, it's a shitty situation for him, it happens.
If he were out there making a shite ton of excuses and whining, I'd get it. But he's not.

There you go then... he’s
Unhappy at a situation he put himself in and signed long term too... so entirely his own doing...boohoo.
Whilst earning 100 million and bouncing a ball.
Suck it up buttercup.
He is in an entirely privileged position that 99.9% of the world can only dream of. He probably has literally zero concept of normal everyday life and the difficulties that come with it and never will
....but his teams losing so let’s feel bad for him.

If your best friend or your parents moved to some new town and ended just not liking it and were pretty miserable while planning to hopefully get out of that situation, you'd just tell them, "too bad, you chose that, I don't feel bad for you" then? I call BS on that.
That makes no sense.

Pretty much yeah.... you chose to move there you stupid frick... that’s your fault. Make better decisions... sort your shite out and don’t moan.
The rest of the stuff... blaaaaah.
Don’t sign a multi year contract and then motion 2 years into it if it doesn’t suit you anymore. You made a commitment... stick to it.... or sign a 1 year contract for less $$ to give yourself flexibility in case your ovaries start aching after a season.
Late here. Bed... no more Beal talk. Night.
