Its the same question they had about KW in Boston:
The article you used to paint a rosy picture was over two seasons ago.
Since that article, he
1 returned and meh'ed it up,
2 got dumped by BOS to OKC (BOS bribed them to take him),
3 got dumped by OKC (couldn't dump him on anyone, so waived him),
4 signed with NY (with the same hopes as in BOS),
5 in just a few months dumped by NY (idled, then bribed DET to take him),
6 dumped by DET (waived), and
7 the entire NBA declined to offer him a deal at any price
There is plenty of evidence in that to say he's no longer the guy with explosive star potential, and is more likely to be just a guy. His knees are shot. Like with Facu, I hope he is way better than his recent track record, but rationally I'm not expecting much. You usually get exactly what you pay for, and he's playing on the cheapest NBA deal possible.
