Last year however, he and Hanifin formed an excellent 2nd pairing and was a big reason we won the West.
I’m not saying re-signing either one is the right answer I’m merely pointing out how the fan bases views on the players, in general, have changed so drastically basically over the course of a year.

We won the west because five players went bananas for four months in a ride that was more unsustainable then the magical 14/15 season.
Hanifin was just there for the ride picking up some assists as the fab five did their best 90s penguins imitation. Him and hamonic were a terrible pair that got worse as time went on. By the playoffs they looked like two fresh faced bewildered rookies playing their first exhibition game.
Once the magic wore off and the margins became thinner, our 2nd pair was exposed. Badly. They made me long for the halcyon days of Russell and Wideman they were so bad.
