Apollo, you know I am the last to defend Hedo. He should have done better than he did. I even hated on Hedo.
But what I was referring to above is that Hedo was not suited for this team when he was brought in. At least 50% blame needs to be placed on BC for bringing in a guy whose value is being a point-forward, paying based on those skills, and then putting him on a team where the system is, and always has been reliant on a distributing PG.
I am not saying that he will ever be worth $53 million, but he could (MAYBE) be at least nominally better if he were playing as a point-forward.

TIm W., I think Doc said it all.
