You do realize by demanding a trade and hurting his value, that helps SAR don't you? Not only does it put pressure on the Blazers to do something, but they will get less for him than they should, meaning that on his new team SAR will still have better players that otherwise would've been traded in the deal for him. He hurts the Blazers and helps his next team by demanding a trade. Look at it from his point of view, what have the Blazers done for him? They've benched him for the first time in his career and yet again he's missed the playoffs. He's been with them for half a season, he doesn't feel obliged to be loyal to them so he's helping himself out by lowering his value so that his next team has a better chance of winning. It makes perfect sense from his point of view, and once again I can't say I blame him.

But you have to realize the Blazers dont have to trade him. They are better off letting his contract come off the books next year then make a move for average players with bad/long contracts. The more SAR hurts his trade value the less likely it becomes that he gets traded.
