<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>His stats were pretty enough to improve his trade value.
What more can you ask for?</div>
He lowered his trade value this season. By a lot.
</div>
No way. Look at the way mosts teams in the NBA are built. Pretty stats are king.
</div>
Wrong. He was seen before as a great complimentary player who was classy and team-oriented. He had great value.
Now he is seen as a selfish black hole who plays no defense and is bad in the locker room. Not someone you want to put with your young star.
No one in the league believes he is a #1 or even a #2 option so his scoring stats are a negative.
</div>
No, he was seen as a young player with potential. This season he expanded his role as a scorer in a season where Kidd quit on the team and Vince had injury problems.
You have an unwarranted high opinion of NBA front offices. The majority of them make dumb decisions on a regular basis. The only thing holding RJ back from being traded is Thorn's mission to rob another team.
