    Every fan base has the whipping boy(s) and he had a down shooting season (after one of the best 3pt shooting seasons in his first year here). Plus many posters viewed him as taking minutes and development from Reed and Cam and we had to overpay to get him here.

    Feels like we are going to extend him, just hopefully it won't be for too much.

    It almost always comes down to money factoring in. If a player is getting paid a lot, they naturally get 5 times more scrutiny.

    FVV at $40+ mil: "This guy is mid, looking washed, why do we keep treating him like he's John Stockton? We can do better (with that money)"

    FVV at $15-25 mil: Steady veteran presence, not great but decent for what he is

    I guarantee if his believes in himself again, he won’t be stepping on the court for anyone else at 3/120. He’s not worth that, not even for us at this point.
