And over the last 2 years he was better than .6 points per game but the rest of the years he's about a .4 point per game player. You can't really just pick the years you want to take an average of. He hit his offensive peak last year, the year before that was even a bit high for him. He's a .5 point per game player over his career.

This guy.
I didn’t say we should pay him what he’ll get on the open market. I simply used it as a comparison to highlight how 5m is a hometown discount, because it absolutely is a hometown discount.
And actually, the previous 4 years before these latest two years he’s actually over a .5 Ppg game player, not .4 unless you’re gonna include his first couple years in this league in which he clearly was nowhere near what he is today. And ya, it doesn’t matter anyway, the .6ppg today is what matters because that is the player he is today. Front offices are gonna be looking at the latest two years, it’s this thing called ‘recency bias’
