However, his inability to hit the open 3 (his only offensive skill, especially now that he can't really post-up), really cripples our offense. The man has no lift and limps running the floor. That contract really is going to look bad as I don't see him changing much in the future.

I don't think his contract is going to be that big of an issue with the cap about to skyrocket (mainly because he'll still be tradable to bottom feeders trying to stay within the minimum 90% of their cap as it balloons), but Wes definitely isn't looking like a guy who can start for a contender anymore... Maybe he needs to sit out and continue to heal, but I'm starting to get the impression that his injury has permanently grounded the lift in his shot... And, like you said, his defense hasn't been good enough to make up for the decline in his offense, so what's he really bringing to the table?
