Guys are not just going to get paid. The playing field has been leveled too much. For the teams that have the money, they ultimately won't use it because the luxury tax penalties are too steep. That means less money for everyone.
I think he is worth keeping if they can. This is him at his worst and at his worth you get a versatile defender, slasher, secondary ball handler and emergency pg. At his best he is a good 3 point shooter with all the previous qualities with the ability to go for 40. I think the trip to China messed up his game and next year he will be back to normal, driving to the tin and shooting at a higher rate. The real key to him is that he is the perfect 6th man and he excepts it. Also, he just provides so much versatility for a roster.

Why would go to China mess up his game? Did he suffer brain damage that is impairing his shot selection?

Create even worse habits. Why drive to the basket let me just shoot threes or make these cats look foolish with my crazy dribble.

What does that have to do with China? Does that country encourage bad shot-taking?

bring back Jamal and dump douglas
Yeah, why keep the offensive version of Jamal (that is, JR Smith) when we could have the real thing!

don't you mean the defensive version of Jamal (I was joking btw) since JR defends and Crawford didn't.

On offense he is Jamal. On defense, he's better than Jamal - or at least in his contract year he has been.

I seem to remember Jamal averaging double figures which, unlike JR. Jamal would have had at least a few 20 to 20+games and he's always performed well against the heat.
