    He’s not right. No fire like when he went on a tear earlier this season.

    Time to trade him this summer.
    Three seasons in a row of hoping and praying that this dude can stay healthy. I have enough evidence which proves that he can’t.

    AD isn't going anywhere unless the Lakers decide they want to go into rebuild mode

    AD can’t hit 20 pts against a very small Blazer front court and Kuzma basically annihilated them

    Porty shot their wad against us and had nothin' but blanks for the Wiz. Kuz and Zingis put a hurt on. What goes around, and cliches like that.

    it's not happening. dallas, in particular, has nothing we would want. i could put together AD trade packages that i'd be ok with, but every single one would involve a diminished product compared to healthy AD. i prefer the high ceiling to the higher floor that comes with healthier but inferior players. you're also gambling that whoever you get back actually is healthier. those lamenting the AD trade need to understand that brandon ingram hasn't played more than 62 games in a season since his rookie year, played 55 last year, and is on place to play less than that this year--assuming he remains healthy from this point forward.

    tons of people here wanted kyrie irving, who played 70 games once in the past 8 years and played 29 and 44 the previous two years.

    if AD goes, there would just be a new target for fan frustrations.

    Right. There's nothing Dallas has that we would want.

    Trading AD is the nuclear option and would signal a true reset of the franchise and I'll repeat again that I don't think most people really want the reality of what that will be.

    AD put up 19 and 20 with 3 blocks to go with it. I think he's rounding back into form following his injury well and expect him to be putting up monster games once he finds a rhythm with his new teammates. The fact that his stat line against the Blazers isn't viewed as his playing very well is pretty insane and yet another reason not to get rid of a guy with his talents IMO.

    Also, while I understand he deleted his Instagram, as a fellow adult with a lot of real world pressures and responsibilities, I will take up for AD a bit here and assure everyone that this is not the horrible thing some may believe as I rarely use my own account (heavy sarcasm here lol).

    Again, I don’t want to trade AD. I really like this new roster and want to see it in place next season with a training camp. It’s looking pretty balanced. I’d like to get one legit SF 3 and D guy instead of either Walker or Beasley to fix the logjam at the 2. That’s about it. I want to see what these guys can all do together. The future is looking a helluva lot brighter than it has been.

    I feel like after the Portland game, I've finally lost my trust in AD. I've been a longtime big defender of his (in the imaginary arguments I have in my head while driving home from work with the game on) because I think the injury risk has been worth the reward. We got a championship from him and he's proven he can still get back to that MVP form.

    But what the hell has been going on these last few games? These are MUST WIN games and he is playing with ZERO fire. Our season is hanging in the balance and he looks like a friggin' zombie out there. I don't know how you fix this, since we'd never get back fair value in a trade, but I'm not defending this guy any more. It's on him now to prove me wrong.

    Nobody knows, and we're all guessing. Is it chemistry issues? Something happening in his personal life? Who knows. Some people argue that he always takes time to fully recover after an injury and that he is timid.

    I don't know, man, but I do acknowledge it's a problem.
