That's your opinion, but based on how the situation has been handled over the past two years, I would argue it's not a valid one.
Kirby has spent past two years working hard to get Arik back in a good place to play. If he was a distraction, as you say, Kirby would have not kept working with him. Kirby also would not have taken up a valuable roster slot to take him on road trips knowing , and saying as much in advance, Arik was not going to play. Kirby has left plenty of bad seeds off road rosters before, so the fact he continued to take him, sacrificing a roster slot, is very telling. I trust what I see from Kirby about Arik's value more than fans who have zero clue what has been happening in the young man's life.
