Well that's obvious. They should do everything in their power to feature him on offense so that some team desperate enough to be fooled by what will be his empty stats, believes that he's worth giving up assets for. It's just that right now isn't that time. No one will give up a pick for him unless a worse contract is taken.
Do those empty stats include the points he was able to score in the playoffs for the Nuggets? How about the number of rebounds he was able to secure?
It's hard to score and rebound in the playoffs and it's not like he just disappeared. I'm not convinced he has negative value.
No, not in the least. I would think when I said they should feature him, my point was clear - they should overinflate his stats to make him more attractive. He's a good player, but he's about to blow up if the Nets are smart/he can stay healthy.
