Man he missed a great game. The D had so much fun. I hope he starts kicking himself and his agent.
If the D keeps this up his leverage keeps going down. I'd pull that highest player offer right now. Who cares if the dude gets butt hurt if he has no problem missing out on the D party then I'm cool with trading him (never thought I'd ever say that).
Seriously you couldn't keep me off that field and to miss the coming out party is pure loss for AD only.
I'd say this whole plan totally backfired.
