Bogus! Letter from Deni to Portland (Fake News)

[Everything Beagle]

It's cool guys and it's not like you're alone in this behavior. I just had a meltdown about it but that's not on you guys. Seriously, sorry for making a mountain out of a very small molehill.

Edit: Also the idea of Deni getting traded had me a little worked up. Sorry again.

It’s all good. I took the clown photo a little personally, but that’s only because the photo didn’t show my good side at all.

@Stevenson you can't just put this out there and not say where you got it from.

This is highly likely a simple chat GPT / cloud request to issue a "summary letter written by Deni Avdija".
As a foreigner - the vocabulary he uses is much different and even with media people he would not issue something like that.
The more you read it the more you realise it is an 8th grade assignment done via AI..
(I review students/interns work knowing and allowing use of AI - so this is not new to me)..
The other possibilty I can not rule out - It is actually Deni, just being lazy and writing via AI assitance..

As I embark on new adventures, Portland remains close to my heart. This team, city, and community have shaped me. No matter where I go, I will always be a trailblazer.

This sentence sounds a hell of a lot like he's being traded.

If we trade this guy with his contract for draft picks I'll puke! This guy is a talent you just don't move on from.

I mean I might for Flagg but I don't think that's happening. I wouldn't move on from Deni for Zion that's for sure. I wouldn't take any other pick in this draft but the first for Deni.

I guess in a big trade like one to Orlando where we net Banchero, Black and there first (pick 15 or 16) for Deni and Ant I could be cool with it. I just don't think that's realistic from the point of view of the Magic but anything less would be unacceptable to me.

Right...as I embark on new adventures...that sounds like he is leaving.

I think it's fake

Obviously Deni was moved by The HCP and his lovely note to all of us.

Fake AI drivel.

 

[Cugel]

no trade talk until the lotto is drawn. nobody stupid enough to make a deal before they know where they are picking. worst thread of the year.

 

[THE HCP]

I haven’t seen people this triggered and upset since I posted that blurry Melo photo out at PDX. Can we please merge this with the MELO thread guys?

If it's on the internet, it's true.

But I'm on the internet now reading this comment.

"her" career through the years.

We've seen stuff like this before, where they say "ABC NEWS" when it's not how sports news is presented. It wouldn't be "ABC NEWS" it'd be like ESPN or Shams, etc.

Everything generated on that group is AI.
That should answer everyone's question.

Dragons is sooooo stupid.

Trade incoming.

I hope not. It would have to be as part of a trade for a young guy who is already a star. Guys who aren't attainable like SGA or Wemby. Maybe somebody else from OKC. I'm sure not saying he is as valuable ass those guys, but if we can't get somebody like that back, I wouldn't want to do it. Would not trade for anyone over 28 or who has injury problems. Deni is the heart of this team now.

From a Twitter account I've never heard of.

teams don't give drug tests, do they? Isn't that NBA?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I would take Banton out also. Make them play without a PG.

I don't think they can get Butler back in time.

 

[crandc]

Her careers? Is Deni a trans man who was misgendered?

This looks really phony. Similar letters from other guys like Jokic on the same day? No.

I think it's fake

if it ends up being fake, especially AI slop, I vote we delete the thread entirely to prevent it from seeming legitimate.

If that turns out to be the case we will probably post that it has been proven false and close the thread.

If you don’t remove the original post then the text will proliferate in search engines as coming from us too.

Just want to say that posting this misinformation was bullshit. This legitimately gave me anxiety while I was in bed last night.
