I think you need to wrap your head around the fact that this player has played poorly in the playoffs to this point in his career. History is filled with regular season players that cant produce nearly as well in the playoffs. I will agree he is too young to paste that on him forever....but to this point he hasnt proven that incorrect
He will also be due a raise, his salary wont be going backwards. If he wants a sizeable raise, and term, it would be foolish not to consider options.
People can debate how his defensive play has improved....but at this point he is still not a "good" defensive player.
