Yeah I'm going to go with this.
It's propably overpaying him some, but not necessarily that much. Guys that put up a lot of points cost a lot of money. Nothing new there.
The number of years seems excessive though, but if he's been able to transition into more of a playmaker he could still have even more than five good years in him. Skilled playmakers that can score don't generally drop in production very fast.
And I don't see that flaky part. He's been relatively consistent in his point production, and actually has a couple of very good playoff years from 2008 and 2009 and didn't do so bad in 2011 either.
