Well, I can understand why he might think so, but Stan Van Gundy wouldn't just back out of this trade, Motiejunas is a guy the organization has been targeting for two years now. In a nutshell, Donatas is accusing the Pistons of decreasing his future value.

screw him. It was a shitty trade to begin with. A 7 footer with a bad back???

So Montiejunas, who wasn't even playing games up to the deadline (missed most of the year), who still missed games after returning to Houston, and who anyone with eyes can see is not fully healthy on the court, thinks we failed him just to void the trade? Even if that was true, it's within the team's rights. But all evidence so far would say he really does have injury problems.

Moreover, if he can actually play (and play well) for the rest of the year, nobody will care about this rescinded traded in free agency.

Precisely. I wanted him, but if he has long term issues with his back... well teams are going to figure that out quickly once they give him a physical. If the issues were just short term (and the docs should be able to tell the difference), then no one will care about this voided trade.
