Sometimes it's personal.
A fanbase can grow sick and tired of watching one of its players put forth limited effort on a nightly basis. Sometimes it's about declining production, as a key contributor could be turning into more of a liability than an asset. Sometimes it's just about roster construction, since an NBA team can have too many bigs or guards at any given time.
Regardless of the reason, every franchise has that one player it hopes (or should hope) won't return.
This is not necessarily akin to insulting the player. Maybe he's just a better fit with a different team, and it's the perfect time for his current squad to move on.
It's also worth noting that we're trying to be realistic here. Some organizations have players they'd surely like to sever ties with, but the remaining money owed prevents them from saying goodbye in anything but an idealistic, imaginary world. For that reason, you won't be seeing Derrick Rose or Nikola Pekovic popping up.
