Jerryd Bayless demanding a trade? [Edited: Incorrect Rumor]

[Edit by Dave:  As of 2:30 this afternoon this has not been substantiated by any source, including people who have listened to the podcast of Mike and Mike.  It is incorrect, as the author admitted it could be from the start.  Absorb accordingly.]

 

So I hear on Mike and Mike Jerryd Bayless is frustrated with his playing time and wants out. This guy has not gotten any playing time unless the game has been a blow out. I think a guy like this needs to be more patient because our team is winning, but at the same time he may have a valid point. We are never going to know how good he is unless he gets out there and plays. Oden gets the chance, Batum gets the chance, why not Bayless?

Is the point guard spot so critical that we can't afford to give Bayless some minutes? Roy was backing up Blake when Sergio was sitting on the bench earlier in the season. We basically used Blake all game and when Rudy came in Roy moved over to the point.

Nate should never appeased Sergio in the first place. I don't care how much better Sergio has been than last year. Bayless deserves some run if Sergio can cry his way into the rotation.

Play Bayless. Batum, Oden, and Rudy have all been given the chances. It's time for another rookie to show what he has, and not just in garbage time.
