People are writing JET off a bit too quickly. His skills are most certainly on the decline. And, unfortunately, he hasn't performed well in the playoffs since 2006. He's not a first or second option. But when he's at his best, he's a legitimate third option. Yeah, it's not as good as having Odom, but we're not the Lakers.

I guess I'm just hesistant to believe that JET is "done" because he had a subpar season,when the season before that he was the best 6th Man in the league. It's possible his skills sharply declined that quicky and there's no turning back, but it's equally possible that he just had a subpar year.

As for the playoffs thing, it's really inexcusable. He's gotta play better when it counts. But I'll point out that the sample size isn't exactly large. We haven't been in many playoff series since 2006....

*edit* This obviously only refers to offense and scoring. JET is a defensive liability, as we all know. But with Marion, Kidd (most of the time), and the centers we have, that shouldn't be a dealbreaker.
