He's probably not feeling welcome back. That Iggy trade was business, but I think Afflalo was hoping to come back and be embraced by the fans and his teammates.

Missing shots as he is, though, it makes the situation kind of awkward. Iguodala clearly outperformed him in his one year with the team, despite the trade not working out.

I don't know what will motivate Aaron to work on his shot and perfect it, but that is a huge hole in our offense. it wasn't at first but now it's hurting the product.

AA's days here are numbered, he knows that. Has nothing to do with his reception here by fans or teammates. He isn't a huge hole in the offense and he/we probably won't have to deal with it in a little over a week...stop hatin'

BTW, it's not Aaron, it's Arron.....

Actually, it's Arron. I actually do pay attention.

Nobody said the team playing badly is his fault, including me. His name is coming up a lot in trade discussion across various forums. My point is that he has not been able to transcend his previous stellar play and also has not achieved proof that trading for Iggy was a mistake. I would hope that he at least would want to play on the fans welcoming him back but he comes across as aloof.

You don't have to make it a gimmick just to express to the fans you enjoy being back. That alone brings a different energy.
