I don't think he does. There's a reason everyone was describing the Pau-to-LA deal as highway robbery for the Lakers.

I definitely wouldn't compare Kwame's situation to Ben's before Ben came to Detroit. Ben came into the league undrafted, hardly a "bust," because nobody ever expected anything from him. CB could fairly be described as a disappointment the first few years of his career, considering the high expectations of being the #3 pick, but he was showing signs of improvement in Minny just before Joe signed him. Kwame, on the other hand, is already one of the biggest busts in NBA history. I don't think there's any chance of him ever getting better than he already is.
