There's no way he makes $17M this year anywhere else, and he doesn't seem likely to go to a team that stands any better chance than the Warriors of making the playoffs. What was he thinking here?

I heard an interesting take on this on the radio today during lunch. Assuming this fan was correct, they were saying that he was benched for the entire second half of a playoff game the Warriors lost because he was 2 of 13 in the first half? If so, I could see anger/spite being the driving factor in this decision and Baron may be determined to leave Golden State.

Edit: Meant the last regular season game, not a playoff game.
