And it can be linked quite directly to his wrist injury, which seems to have healed as much as it's going to. So teams aren't going to be able to talk themselves into "rekindling his scoring" or anything. He's physically unable to perform at the same clip he was in the past, and it's unlikely that will change. So that means to get rid of him they are sending out a first rounder (who would take 5m/year x2 years of toxic cap for anything less), which is further emptying the cupboards bare. Same with Campbell. They are almost out of assets to pair these bad deals with.
