As per the social media update, the CBS Sports media personnel iterated that the 37-year-old athlete’s dismay over the news was justified since he contributed to their success for more than a decade. Moreover, with his retirement days fast approaching, it was a relatively insensible decision from the organization’s side. “Just let the man finish his career in LA,” he expressed in his tweet.

Can you really blame Jonathan Quick for being upset with the trade? I get it's a business, but the man spent 16 years with the Kings and is near the end of his career. Just let the man finish his career in LA.
