So your counter is to mention his 3rd season, where they gave up on him after giving him the long leash?

Atlanta Hawks
The Houston Rockets are among the teams that have had discussions this season about Atlanta’s Kent Bazemore, sources said. Bazemore is expected to receive interest from several contenders.
Chicago Bulls
Several teams seeking a shooting and defending wing player have inquired about Justin Holiday, who has served as a veteran leader for Chicago, league sources said. Holiday ranks eighth in the NBA in 3-pointers made and is in the final year of the two-year, $9 million contract he signed in 2017.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Teams are monitoring whether Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith will become available in the buyout market after the NBA’s trade deadline — if he isn’t traded. The Rockets expressed interest in Smith dating back to the summer.
Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks are eager to improve their team and are open for business. Around the NBA, Dallas has made it clear Luka Doncic is the closest thing to an untouchable on the roster. The Mavericks are 16-17 and fighting for a playoff spot. Several teams are also monitoring guard Dennis Smith, sources said, as he is nearing a return from a wrist injury that has forced him to miss 10 of the past 11 games.
Denver Nuggets
Second-year player Monte Morris has become one of the best backup point guards in the league. Behind Jamal Murray, Morris has averaged 10.3 points, 4.1 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 49.1 percent field-goal shooting in 24.9 minutes per game. With Isaiah Thomas still sidelined, the Nuggets had looked into backup guard options early in the season before the emergence of Morris. He also leads the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio at 6.1.
Memphis Grizzlies
Situation to monitor: Chandler Parsons, who has been out since Oct. 24 with knee swelling, has been medically cleared to return and was expected to play last Friday in Sacramento, but the Grizzlies’ front office has decided to keep Parsons a healthy inactive for the foreseeable future, sources said. Could this lead to a standoff?
Milwaukee Bucks
Keep an eye on forward/center Christian Wood, who has averaged 28.5 points and 12.4 rebounds on G League assignments for the Bucks this season.
Orlando Magic
Magic guard Jonathon Simmons is expected to enter the potential trade market this season, rival teams believe. Simmons, who is in the second year of a three-year deal with the Magic, has seen his minutes diminish this season.
Sacramento Kings
The young Kings are ahead of schedule in their rebuild around De’Aaron Fox, No. 2 overall pick Marvin Bagley III, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Buddy Hield and Willie Cauley-Stein. Rival executives don’t sense urgency from the Kings to make major changes quite yet. They are 18-15, in the eighth seed in the Western Conference playoff chase and are playing with house money. Fox has credited veteran Iman Shumpert for providing leadership and championship experience.

Shooting guards don’t have to be high usage. They can just be floor spacers that can do a little playmaking and of course defend.
