And finally, it also feels like AD has a bone to pick with everyone doubting his own ability. I mean he also sees just how everyone is making fun of the Luka trade and calling him a throw in. I think he wants to prove everyone he is better than Luka.

I don't think anyone has ever doubted The Brow's ability, it's always been his availability.  I also don't think anyone has classified AD as a throw in, just that Nico should have gotten much, much, much more in return for trading away Luka.  The shade is towards Nico, not AD.
