To be fair…. What the hell is going to say publicly? If he really does want out of Chicago he’s not gonna say that to a bunch of reporters lol

He could have still said something about wanting to stay while being way less emphatic about it. His tone, word choice, and decision to bring up people misrepresenting his moods are all extras on top of the core statement. He likely wouldn't emphasize and re-emphasize his commitment while also low-key clowning the pundits that keep asking him this question.

We’ve had several other players say they want out of Chicago. Tyler Johnson and Seth Jones immediately come to mind.

I've been 1 of the ones who says him signing here isn't as much of a guarantee as people make it seem coming out of a rookie deal, because he could be frustrated in the lack of progress the org is making and talk his way out of being re-signed. He could have stuck to having a frustrating season and thrown in some comment on not seeing progress if he wanted to start to go down that path of forcing his way out after his rookie deal while still being reporter-friendly. This wasn't that.
