At his best he's a top end offensive talent that also strong defensive metrics (at times elite defensive metrics) but what we are witnessing right now seems to be his worst.

If your training staff thinks the injury isn't chronic then I think some team could potentially get him for much less than he would have cost in a trade 12 months ago. |
I agree with this. We don't know how his recovery is coming along from the injury he had. He could in fact be another stellar buy low candidate. I think you have to give him a serious look.
