The fact that he was one of the few players on this team to show up both years in the playoffs matters too. His 3 percentage was down this season like everyone else on the team (and the NBA in general) and like the rest of the team started to come back when he got hurt.At this point, now that he's had this stretch of 32% 3 point shooting and was demoted to the bench, all teams have to ask, were the 2 seasons of great shooting an anomaly or the new norm. The Mavs themselves were shopping THJ and looking for a shooter, tells you how much confidence they have in him, and if they aren't confident in him, why would anyone else be? I know you guys all want to see him as at least neutral value so we can hope for the best. I see his current value as no different than when he was at NY at this point.
He might need to wait until the TDL or following season to get to neutral value. At 21 mil he is not a very attractive contract. At 2 for 33 after the cap has gone up a couple more times and its a lot more reasonable.
Sure, after next season when he's had a chance to prove who he is as a shooter his value could become neutral to positive, but we're not talking about trading him in a year.
