Again, believe what you want but this is just my opinion and I say yes. Right out the gate AD destroyed the Rockets and has his mysterious injury late and leaves the game. Gone for 1 1/2 to 2 months. If those random injuries like this finger thing happen again to him next season then I'll believe they're real but I don't think they were actually major injuries. Also the terrible Grimes+2nd/Martin trade to me was a tank move. Grimes playing too well and playing hungry for his next contract, he'd be trying way too hard the entire year imo.
This year needs to be over because the stuff teams are doing to tank for this draft class is annoying af.
