Or he could just loaf and turn in another mediocre campaign in a contract year like he did with Portland last season - and then collect another $3-4 million NEXT summer from another team starved for a burly 7-footer.
That's not to say it was dumb to sign him to a one-year deal. Just don't expect him to return to his All-Star form or make the mistake of thinking his career is over if he averages 6 points and 7 boards...again.
