Since you either can't do simple math or you're just race baiting....
Pete was a highly paid high draft pick and was "a white guy." He made more than the rest of the team combined and many times over. They drafted him to hopefully draw fans. The fan base in Atlanta of an all black team during a period of racial tension wasn't friendly to Pete in the least. The Hawks players were exceptionally hard on him for the entire first year. I watched a documentary on Pete's life. Those first years with the Hawks under those conditions were brutal on him. He surely didn't ask to be drafted as their savior.
