I think the max we can offer him is something like 13? I think he has had a down year shooting, and had some lingering struggles with the whole Covid thing. He has been disappointing, but an extension at that price would be buying low.
Hate is probably too strong of a word. Buy low might be too strong of a descriptor for that type of contract. A contract in that range might just be what he is worth, the guy is 28 and a six year veteran. His three point shooting will probably bounce back as these seems like a down year but his 2PT and FT % should probably return to the norm as well. He shows defensive flashes and is decent enough with the ball against average defenders to get shots up. While I don't really want to be the team that pays him, he just needs to be easily moveable and based around all the tea leaves we saw coming into the TDL, he wasn't a very desirable expiring. Granted we are only privy to NBA reporting and NBA twitter but I don't remember any grumblings about him.
I guess the question I keep asking is, "has he made the team any better this year"?
