It could be but what if G continues this way for the rest of his career. Would you be happy paying him over 8 mill a year? I'm not saying to def trade him but if the return is good then you at least have to look at it. I think at this point it's obvious G is not the player he seemed to be scoring 90+ pts.
Really I'm just worried about having so much money on one guy that is underachieving both on offense and defense before that contract even kicks in. I really like G and want him to be dominant again but haven't seen that for a few years.
Really? That's obvious to you? Based on 20-ish games while playing on a line with two players who are playing like absolute garbage? The same 20-ish games where nobody except Mason was doing anything? Last season he might have hit 90 points in a full season. He started off really slow and then in the last 20-30 games he was over a ppg and didn't look like he was slowing down.
I'd bet anything if Giroux had a couple decent linemates who could actually shoot he'd easily be over a ppg player again.
But no, lets get rid of him after a slow stretch, that sounds smart.
