I wouldn't want him if he played for free.
This is classic TT. The writing was on the wall. He used the Suns to get his contract. Don't expect him to be a major part of a Clippers run, now that he has his deal in place.
How can you leave a a contender like phenix, with a great pg and a lot of rising players ??? I mean, he couldve gotten a ring there. It says a lot about his motivation to play in the league isn't it ?

sucks for the suns who traded out of the draft to be able to afford TT.
Yeah TT is a low class person. He definately screwed them over. He basically verbally agreed to remain part of the Suns and then jumped at the bigger $ as soon as he was offer it. Don't blame him for going for the cash but you shouldn't verbally commit to your teammates and coaching staff like that.
Like Randy Newman said in a song, "it's money that matters."
This alomst as bad as us giving the deal we gave to JJ. Its like, how many times can you make the same mistake? NBA GM's are truly some of the most arrogant overconfident bastards out there.
I think basketball fans are just numb as to what these numbers really mean from talking about absurd cash amounts so much. So a guy chooses to go to a team that pays him $12million more and that makes him a bum?
Hey, it's not as if the Clips are chopped liver either. For all the talk about the great situation TT decided to leave, he's going to a team that took those Suns 7 games. Hell, if you subtract TT from Phoenix and add him to LA, the Clips probably would have beat the Suns anyway.
