I said this in another comment below but:

As a therapist, I'm curious if the team picked someone out for him (my suspicion) or allowed him to find his own therapist.

One of the first things we learn as therapists is that training and modality isn't as important as the relationship btw. therapist and client. If Kai felt forced to go and couldn't even choose who he saw, it's no wonder he felt like it wasn't helping.

The only info I have is from the video and it seems like the team picked one for him. Also I bet it would violate CBA if they cut him the moment he expressed his issues or chose not to use team assigned therapists. With the trade request, they got a ready excuse and they cut him after that, which is a shitty thing to do, but what can you expect from a hornets org that welcomed Miles Bridges back.
