lol! BBR doesn't take a guess on how many games he'll play (he's averaged 45 a year over the last 4 seasons) but these stats are projected out production per 36 minutes... & the last two seasons he's averaged 32 so all those numbers are inflated. Yes dude is talented, but he's yet to prove much when it matters.

Yeah he just needs to stay healthy.
The last 3 years, he played
47, 32, 36

I’d take him for half a season every season over A LOT of other guards out there.

I guess if that half year includes the playoffs. However 40 million + is a lot for a player only playing half a year.

But maybe his injuries issues are behind him.

If you mean Westbrook, yes, I agree.
