[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1034439, member: 17953"] I see where Lillard pretty much told Rivers he was never in shape to play all season. That he hadn't worked like he should on conditioning during the past off-season. He blames it on his being in the pipeline to be traded. That is pure hogwash. His emotional baggage over the divorce, and his kids, plus his desire to play in Miami, if he couldn't stay in Portland. Even his run-in with the Portland front office. All part of the unrest in his personal life. But, he can't admit it to himself, or others, because it would make him look weak. Instead, it was the concern of him being traded, and worrying about an injury. Why? He was guaranteed two years of salary, and has a player option to get the third year, even if he can't play. His response was bogus, because the truth would hurt too much. We all can be guilty of protecting ourselves emotionally. It's called being human. But, to be frank, you could see his game deteriorating the year before he was traded to the Bucks. His emotional baggage had turned him into a total no-show on defense, and less team oriented. Personally, I think he began to withdraw from those around him, becoming somewhat reclusive. Personal matters can cause that. The Bucks need to trade him to somewhere he'll be happy, but get enough for him that it makes sense. To do this, we all know what needs to be done in the Bucks front office and on the sidelines. It should happen pretty soon, because you wait too long and the guys who can make decisions will be gone.... [/QUOTE]
