Upset with Dunta being upset

[Warren]

The headline and first paragraph of that Chronicle article are misleading at best. In the quote Smith never says that he would not tag Dunta, but rather that he didn't want to. That's a big difference.

Only Smith and Robinson and his agent know what was actually said during negotiations, but the Chronicle doesn't seem to be accurately characterizing what he's saying now. If he didn't want to do it but ultimately decided he had to
he didn't change his mind.
