We are really not giving him enough credit. He tries superhard, plays with energy and "hype", absolutely no indication that he is any kind of chemistry problem and he has great offensive ability. Kudos to coaching stuff to find him a role and maximally exploit his strengths. Also it looks like his confidence is rising as he is not terrible anymore when he creates for himself. He has his off nights, but to be honest, it has been a long time since his last super cold game.
All in all, list of players I would consider as an upgrade over him is getting shorter and his contract is not terrible anymore. I guess it is still above market value and I don't think he can get a much better offer even on poor free agent market. Although, Barnes gor over 20 mil per for similar production.
