Totally. He might be one of the keys to us being "just good enough" on defense in our playoff run.
Reggie Ragland was that guy last year. Everything kind of just started clicking for him. I was actually kind of hoping he would stay, but he signed with Detroit for chump change (1 year and like $950,000 or something like that).
If Hitchens is going to play decently, his contract is still an albatross, but at least his underperformance isn't exactly hurting the team. It definitely isn't so bad that we can't let him play out the remainder of that deal without taking a cap hit.
