You can explain it away however you want. If he couldn't work out due to an eye injury, he could have eaten less calories. You can't blame fans for making fun of AD for showing up overweight when the entire rationale for trading Luka was his weight. The jokes write themselves.
I personally don't have anything against AD. I think we have much bigger problems. If the team was good, people wouldn't be taking shots at him.
He's averaged 25/12 in 36 mpg and hasn't missed a game. Yes, he looks a bit slower to start the season but that will work itself out. Just like everyone else, I'm waiting for the shoe to drop and him to miss an extended period, but he's played pretty well given his shortened offseason.
