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?

He looks terrified of contact the few times he has gone to the rim. To me, it's the mental aspect if his injury that is the real killer.
Good news is that he was still the best 2 guard free agent option this past summer that the Mavs actually had a chance at. You'd still be having to spend at least 12 a year for Ellis who isn't really doing much better on the Pacers and doesn't play defense.
