I mean other than the fading memory of Linsanity (when let's be honest he was barely among the top 80 players in the league by most reasonable metrics) he's pretty much the case study for finishing a career up in Europe surely?

Europe? His destiny has always been to be Starbury part 2 in China. That video of him crying was a bad look, but I do think he's also always put a burden on himself to be an example for other Chinese people under 7', and I still think he broke through some barriers and stereotypes.

Maybe I'm just used to seeing supermax numbers thrown around, but $33m/y for an all-star in his age 30-32 years seems reasonable. Not sure why you think he'd get fat? He's never had a prototypical NBA body or been a great athlete, seems to have a great head on his shoulders, and derives a lot of value from his shooting so I don't think he'll age worse than most.
