I think his good seasons are the result of him being the best option on his team as an offensive initiator and being given the ball, allowed to go downhill with it. The disappointing ones seem to happen when his teams try to take the ball away from him and give it to someone more qualified to initiate offense. He doesn't seem to be able to succeed as easily as complementary player. That has always been my take, anyway.
That's a very decent take. But he had the break-out season in NOP when AD when AWOL and was with Jrue (iirc???), had a not good year under terrible Fizdale coaching in NYK (and was playing the same position as Marcus Morris who was also starting!), and then a good year last year, half of which was with Derrick Rose inititing the offence. So, I'm not 100% sold on your idea.
Moreover, I don't think he's greedy on offence. Now, whether he wants to be a #3/#4-role on a competing team at this point in his career is a different question.
