At the end of the day it’s a business whether we like what’s going on or not can’t mix feelings with business

Blake Griffin, Alex Smith...... Never forget it’s a business first!! Both great players and great for their teams and they are being shipped out. It’s a blessing to be a professional athlete but when the business kicks in it’s always tough.
