Having a contract situation hanging over a team can be a huge distraction. It's not like he was going to be Dwight Howard or anything, but it could still be a problem. It's my understanding he kind of wanted out of the shadow of KD and Russ. However, judging from his body language in his first press conference I don't think he wanted it to happen. Either way, time to move on. Understandably, this will be a storyline all season though.
