He's putting up 18/9/5 this year, whilst having a bad shooting year.
taking two less field goals a game, scoring two less field goals a game. making one less three pointer than last year.
Anyone who doesn't think he has value isn't thinking clearly. does him being a basket case lower his value? sure. that doesn't mean he doesn't have value.
he needs a change of scenery.
That was last year in his contract year.
What he's shown this year is that he can't make anyone around him better. And his contract is awful. Nobody wants to pay that. He's paid like a #1 man but he's likely the third option on a top team and that's being generous because he'd break any of those teams if he's playing over 30 MPG.
And you can't write off his reduced stat line to a "bad shooting year". That's kinda a big deal. Many times, you don't get it back.
If anything, you'd think his efficiency and shot selection would be better now that he isn't forced to shoot more.
