As you said, healthy, Prime Matthews never did that. This one is most likely a 10-15 PPG scorer for the rest of his career. He just has no lift and that doesn't come back. It ruined his very solid post-up game. And he could never drive. Even with the increased cap, he'd have to round back into a 40%+ 3-point shooter to remotely justify that contract...not sure if that will happen.

I'm holding out hope that he's not 100% healthy, but I do think he'd still be a tradable asset if he could get his shot back up to 37% and continue to contribute decent defense.
