They once loved you. They once cheered for you and bought your merchandise and had life-altering experiences coming to games watching you play,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo when that kind of gets ripped from them from just something like a trade or demanding a trade or wanting to lead, they feel like a piece of them is gone too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on to say that Irving may or may not be happy playing the villain in the scenario \u2014 and that could change from game to game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome days he might be up for it; some days he might not. But he understands what this job entails. We understand what this situation is.
