How in the world can you describe what he's done as going "DEFCON 2 almost immediately"?
Look, you can play the whole management is always right, or you signed the contract you live with it horseshit, but this revisionist history that he immediately flipped out is just a lie.
He did what every fat ass fan sitting in his La-Z-Boy wants - he shut his mouth and he played. He played his ass off at an historic level. After which, he was looking for the organization to extend some commitment, respect, and security to him. And, they didn't. At least not in a manner that he felt he deserved. And so far off from that, that he said "screw it if you don't want me here, let's give you exactly what you want even earlier then".
There was nothing immediate. There was nothing beyond reasonable.
