Over the last 2 years he's declined in: blocks, steals, charges drawn, rebound rate, shooting, and defense, and PER.

2005-2006 and 2006-2007 were his best years "PER wise"

On top of all our roster flaws, our 2.5 option has no dedication, no commitment, no hunger, no desire.

It's unfair of me, I suppose, to make these assumptions since I don't know Josh and don't know what goes through his mind... but that's just the vibe I get. Terry, Dirk, and Kidd seem to care, but Josh doesn't.

And it's a very legitimate opinion... he's not at a point in his career where we can attribute those declines due to lost speed, quickness, or athleticism... he's at a point in his career where we can attribute those declines due to lack of effort.

Ghazi is on the trade J-Ho bandwagon! Even if it's a lateral move, I'd rather watch a guy who gives a damn than a guy who doesn't.

And... every team is interested in him. So it's not like he'd be hard to trade and get something decent in return.
