Does he really miss 30 games a year or are the Jazz tanking the past 2 years to get better draft picks?
In his 7 year career for Chicago, Cleveland, then Utah, he has played 68, 52, 50, 51, 61, 66, 55 games ... that's an average of 57 games, and the Jazz played him more games than he played since he was a rookie last year, this year he struggled with shoulder issues and it flaring up is what ended his season.
Like I said, I like his game, but he's often unavailable. Averaging 25 missed games a season over 7 seasons is a LOT.
