He must just be hitting his stride as he turns 32.

Yeah, he is and has been for the last 3 seasons. At his salary, he doesn't need to be 1.0ppg or better player either. If he can flirt with 70 points while bringing a hole lot of grit and fight to this team, it is more than enough to justify his deal.
Years 5,6,7 may be an adventure, but who knows how he will age and there are always ways to turf bad contracts if need be.
