Just like what happened with DeMarcus Cousins. Injuries after injury made him less valuable and even today he is having a hard time finding a team.
One of the worst things that happened in a player's history regarding the possibility of getting a good contract.
That year, I remember that he was already expecting a max contract in the off-season not just with the New Orleans Pelicans but on other teams as well. Unfortunately, the injury came and from there, he didn't have a chance now to taste a very good contract until his value depreciate up to this point.
I hope the Denver Nuggets can give him another shot even for 1-year basis.
As long as he remained healthy, he can still be a good asset coming off the bench.
