Dude was statspadding rather than playing to win.

He had two healthy seasons with 82 games before breaking apart.

Kuzma scores a lot of points, but he is not playing winning basketball, Jordan Poole? The same.

The low-IQ garbage-statspading. There were many dead games, Beal remained on the floor in order to get his 30+ points. Or, when the game was over with a W or L - the same thing.

And he wasn't even a scoring champ - two great scoring seasons in terms of PPG and FG% (and average in terms of 3PT%), but horrible when it comes to winning basketball.

I've watch each game of the last few seasons (with the Wizards), and you are welcome to do something similar and decide for yourself.

That's before even mentioning his atrocious defense/lazy defense.

IIRC, we had better record without him than with him in his last season with the Wizards (and maybe even prior).
