I think that is where Soonerpeace was ultimately commenting on poor communication. I don't think there is any more nuance to be had there - Jonah pretty clearly had no idea about those plans and how they affected him. By the time one of the coaches reached Jonah, the optics already looked bad from his perspective. 

I think it would have been a big nothing burger if someone had reached out to Jonah first, or just at some point in that negotiation process before Orlando signed. All it would have taken would have been a call saying "Hey, we are putting an offer in to Orlando and we think he is going to take it. Here is the plan we have..." and by Jonah's own admission, he would have been fine with it. 

He says that now, but at the time he was balking at playing RT. I have to think not finding a team that wanted him for a LT bad enough to trade for him may have changed his tune. We'll never know for sure what transpired. I'd say just let the whole thing go.
