After he got here (after 8 years in the league), there was no more than an occasional night off due to soreness, IIRC. I think he's been mostly healthy since leaving as well.
I guess I'm suggesting that strengthening his body plus maturation of his body could result in a player available for a high percentage of games, even B2B's. Patience is called for, I think.
TC played 20+ games only twice since 2008: 74 in his 1st season with Dallas, 75 in his 2nd season with Dallas
He had 66 games twice with Knicks and Suns, 62 games in 66 season games with Knicks.
He averaged 27.7 MPG in his first stint here, so having Haywood helped us a lot
He was fairly healthy there, and if we can get 4 or 5 years of healthy KP, I will be thrilled
