Last season playing meaningless (tanking) games for washington his 3 point % looked good on a very small sample size/attempts. This season when he was asked to shoot the three more he was exposed on shooting more volume. Also he had plenty of people to spread the floor for him in Lavine, White, and Lauri which is better than anyone outside of Beal on those wizard teams. His three point percentage for two season was smoke and mirrors.Not a bad argument, I just believe he'd look really good here. I don't have to have him, but I think he is better than, or at least as good as anyone outgoing in that trade. 5.4 assists can't be discounted.

However I wouldn't give up any true assets for 32yo role player.I think he's good enough to start on this team and do pretty well being more of a defensive specialist who can put in work on offense than the unneeded offensive force that we already have.

OPJ had an injury that sidelined him for a very long time throughout the last 2 seasons. When looking up his games played I saw that there are 4 lines of low games played which is where I believe you got the thought that the last 4 seasons he's hardly played. If you look again, 3 of those lines are for last year when he was traded, one for games played in Chi, one for games played in Was and one for the total of the two.
He played 56 games last season and 14 this one, before that he played 77, 80, 75 and 74 games the seasons prior. We're pretty decent at getting and keeping our guys healthy, once he's through this string of bad luck on his health and on our team, I'd have less worry about it. However, carry on with your rant about him.
