    F him and his dad.

    Gary Trent, father of Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr., has shed some light on the latter’s personal struggles in Portland during an appearance on the “Raptors Show with Will Lou.” “My son played with so much pain, and my son was so depressed and so down and so sad in Portland, that watching him play actually used to hurt me,” said the former Raptors forward. “I knew my son wasn’t feeling himself, wasn’t playing his game, he was under a lot of negative pressure [from] negative statements from front-office people.”

    Seasonal depression is a real thing in the Northwest...but also, now we know that NO created a "toxic work environment" so this is no real surprise :dunno:

    Portland is a pretty depressing place if you are young, rich and want to have a social life built about being young and rich.

    I find this hard to believe. Some fans were brutal with their "black hole" comments, but the front office?
    Makes no sense that they would. Never heard any other x-player mention that.

    Honestly always thought last year that he looked pretty mopey and depressed before the trade, so I can't say I'm surprised.

    Add in the fact that he had to deal with Snake Oilshey and Chuck Jumpers McCollum and it's not exactly hard to understand....

    You know what? Boo-fucking-hoo. I'm all for recognizing professional athletes are people just like the rest of us and they encounter the same feelings as the rest of us, but really, boo-fucking-hoo to this one.

    "he was under a lot of negative pressure [from] negative statements from front-office people"

    So it was the GM holding him back, not the coach? Interesting.
