It would send a terrible message to the fans and the players if they send down out 2nd leading scorer (at this point), and biggest reason for hope this season.

The only way I see it happening is if he starts to take too much physical punishment.

If he really cools off, then you send him back later in the season even if it means burning a contract year. It's really not the end of the world if that happens. Yeah, it sucks that we "might" have to pay him more sooner than we would like, but it also shows that the team is dedicated to the players success and aren't letting money rule every decision.
