What's always missing from the Kaep narrative - he bailed out of his contract with SF. Had a player option year IIRC and said "no - I want to be a free agent/SJW" and voided that last year of his contract. THEN he had no job offers.
You can't fire me I quit - bam, no one hired me. Now he's sad panda wanting back.
Right!!?? He walked away from the most logical city in which is his message could have been amplified and embraced.
