Way to take things out of context. He said "I'm a all-star, I'm one of the leaders so I take blame (or responbility, I cant remember now) but I dont think I should take all the blame. I'm not a captain and its not my job to rally the troops..thats the captains job".
He isn't wrong he does get blamed all the time.
Actually some people on here are happy. The situation is you want everyone to play as a team but you don't want to blame the team evenly for their problems. Blame one person ignore the other. People said the same thing about raja and boris and now they are in Charlotte playing well and J-rich comes in and isn't doing so hot. Yet still no one blames the captains they continue to blame Amar'e like he somehow took away J-rich's game and made Nash worse even though he was doing great with those guys last year with a different coach.
Yep.
He never said he doesn't want the troops to get going he said that the captains don't get them going so why should he. Its a stupid thing to say as a team player but if you are already getting traded and the media threw you under the bus and your fans have given up why would you even care anymore?
It is no doubt a cop out but he is already being traded out. What he said is true even if it isn't what we want to hear from someone who knows he is leaving. Amar'e is going and now the Cardinals aren't distracting the valley. The scapegoat and the distractions are almost gone and there is little left to hide Porters horrible coaching and the teams mistakes. A lot of people here think that by highlighting Amar'e's mistakes and trading him will fix the team but as long as this team has Porter and kerr running it this team is not going anywhere.
