Yes, just like it is without him, but our ceiling with him going forward would have been much higher. He's easily worth a 20 million dollar salary in a 90 million dollar capped league.

What good is drawing free agents if the guy has no faith in himself as a franchise player? Our ceiling would be as high as he could take us and his actions are not the actions of a franchise player. I have no doubt after what he did in the off season that his FT' issues are in large part mental. He could sit in a gym all day every day till he shot a respectable % and I think he would come up small in big moments or more accurately, avoid the big moment at all costs all together. Is he worth the max? Yes. That means nothing since almost every good player right now is a max player with the cap going up.
