I think as fans we have a bit of a blind spot to him because we remember when he was great and the shit he does on offense is fun. But the more I read, the more you have to conclude that he was a fairly substantial part of the problem last year. Dude's back injury really wrecked him.
His multi-city tour seems to suggest same. He's clearly not getting the offers he wants and he's going to keep bouncing around and trying to drum up interest. It wouldn't surprise me to see him end up somewhere on a 1-year deal, have that back flare up on him and slowly fade away.
If he could get something like 4/$32 with at least half of that guaranteed, he may be wise to jump on it. It's looking like his decline was pretty fierce.

He'll end up signing with Atlanta. Pioli will talk Dmitrioff into it.
