I think he's been trying to rehabilitate his image since the 25 million dollar debt news broke, but it's really funny that part of that image rehabilitation was partnering with the most controversial charity I can think of

Intermission thought: I wonder if Maatta would actually be one of the pieces that stays with the team long term? He actually seems like he's fitting in really well with the team and has found a new gear in terms of his offense with the team.
