Let me preface this: back in 2004 Kerry was unfairly labeled as a "waffler". What the republicans actually meant to say was that, like the rest of us, Kerry learned as the situation changed. The same here applies to Paul.

When he reupped 3 or 4 years ago, things were looking rosy. ECF was a recent memory, Danny hadn't completely gone bat**** insane, and he had some promising teammates. Well, since then we've had a whopping one playoff appearence in which we got trounced by an inferior team, Danny has proven how special he is by taking the short bus to work everyday, and most recently we've put our entire future in the hands of ping pong balls. Well, if I saw that happen and my career was turning into the basketball equivalent of the careerbuilder.com commercials, well I'd want out too.

He's taken the high road so far by keeping this as much on the down low as possible. No Kobe tapes, no mutterings, and no degradation of the C's. This is a classy play, I'm all for the dude leaving town for his career's sake.
