I couldn't care less about treating him with Kid gloves when his salary could be used for a real center that makes an impact where the team needs him - in the top 6.

You could certainly be more compassionate about it.
Guy was a productive, team first player for the first 6 years of his career, earning his first three years of this contract easily.
Then he breaks down due to hip issues, not due to lack of trying or lack of caring.
Nobody is trying to get anyone to admit that he's earning his pay day, but the overall consensus is to cut the guy some slack as a good warrior for this team and not dump all over him for something out of his control.
