On the other hand, we don’t always need NBA players to tell us they’re unhappy. 

Sometimes, the circumstances a player is in make their unhappiness a safe assumption. As a general rule, aging veterans prefer to avoid rebuilding teams. If they haven’t won an NBA title in their careers, that holds especially true. 

After all, such players only have so many years remaining. Why would they want to invest their time in a plan that’s not expected to pay dividends until they’re on their way out of the league?
