The man just doesn't have what it takes. If you look at the net gain with him on the floor (positives minus the negatives) it doesn't seem worth it to me. At his best he is a 23/7/.5/.5 guy. Subtract out the TOs.....the lack of boards...the lack of passing that causes the offense to get out of rhythm...and the absolute lack of defense...and what is the net gain? I think where he hurts the team the most is in the non-measurables, like being an offense staller, or a very poor help defender. There have been many players that have really good offensive ability but are just better suited for situational play. Eddie would be great at that off the bench....just like several others.
