I still don’t see him as a meaningful addiction to a contending team, both for age and personality - maybe to an underachieving pretender

At least not for the money he wants. But Paul George just got paid, so…

PG has more miles left on the tires and can also be a #1 offense and defense guy on a playoff team as he showed just 2 years ago with probably the strongest showing of his career.
There is definitely a market for Jimmy though; someone who can get a bucket and isn’t afraid of any moment will always have a spot as a 5th/6th man on a playoff winning team, and I think yo be fair to Jimmy he’s more than only a 1-dimensional Jamal Crawford type.

PG is only a half year younger than Jimmy and both have almost the exact total games played and minutes played, so I’m not sure where you get this idea that he has so much more left in the tank than Jimmy. Also PG wasn’t even in the playoffs 2 years ago, his last good playoff run was almost 4 years ago in 2021 as a 31 year old. He’ll be 35 by the time the playoffs come around this year.
