It´s a gamble NBA teams make all the time. That´s why I asked the questions below. Is it reasonable to assume that he can produce that level again on another team (new coach, system, teammates) or is his recent level all we can expect for the rest of his career?
I guarantee I can come up with more examples of centers on the continual decline at 24yo than centers who were declining at 24yo and turned it around...
How do you think Vegas would handicap that? Clearly it'd be more that he'll continue to decline than pull out of the nosedive. So you're wanting to gamble $104m on an unenthused, unmotivated, grossly overpaid curmudgeon? I hope you don't live near an Indian reservation.
