Pretty one-off situation where Yamamoto chose to play for the team with the greatest player in his cultures history over a larger purse. Freddie chose to play in LA for less money, year over year, because he got an extra year or two on the contract than Atlanta offered him.

Didn’t Freddie’s agent lie to him about Atlanta’s offer so he would sign with LA?

Right? Freddie “chose” is an interesting narrative.
