PDX fans posting on X are already calling for Duop Reath to start.

I’m seeing a lot of Portland fans on Twitter begging to trade DA. I’m honestly surprised with how bad he’s played. I thought he would play with a chip on his shoulder (for a string of games) and prove that he’s somewhat worth his contract. I can’t believe he was a number one pick and on a max contract. What an awful player.

He is who he is. I've said from Day 1 that CP3/Monty was the best thing to have ever happened to DA but his supporters have consistently spouted BS like they were holding him back or they weren't using him right. CP3 and Monty hid so much of DA's weaknesses by minimising his super basic offensive bag and made him focus on what he's actually gifted at which is defense, rebounding and finishing. We kept his role tight, put him in position to really help the team, made him look like a budding star and got him paid.
But the moment he took a step outside of that environment, one where he's now fending for himself, one where he's one of the "vets" and is expected to be a vet to the very young guys on their team and he's looking more lost and useless than ever. I also said before the season began there will be a bunch of times this season where Portland fans will question whether one of their rotation bigs is a better player than DA, which is what we had done during the course of his time in Phoenix.
