The last couple of years his catch-and-shoot and off-the-dribble numbers are basically identical. Actually since about 2017 he's been a better catch-and-shoot than off-the-dribble shooter - but again, it's close.
I agree with you that he's quit on three teams in a row and still wants a big role in an offense wherever he goes - but I think my point is valid, too. If he could resign himself to being the third best guy on a team, he's still got enough in the tank to be value added.
He's not washed - he's just an asshole. 😂
Real talk, though - you're getting at least a 50% chance he shows up out of shape, a 100% chance that he'll quit on you at some point, and even if those two things don't pop, he's never exactly been a lock down defender. But he can still create shots and hit 3s at a decent clip. He's basically the better version of Seth Curry, if Seth insisted on having the entire offense run through him.
I don't think he can still play.
The Celtics series this year was a great example. He did have one great game to keep them in the series while Embiid was out. But the consequence of that was so much fatigue he couldn't make a layup the rest of the series (and while they played good defense overall, he had his share of good looks that he just missed hard)
