I don't think that's enough to get him gone by the deadline, but if he shakes off the shooting woes and has a few big games to help us make the 2nd round of the playoffs, that would probably be enough to get him to opt out, playoff performers often get overrated and overpaid.

I think if he can turn it up a notch to his normal shooting %s, I think keeping him for this year is fine. Say we are a 48 win team and sneak in as a 7/8th seed. If we make noise, like you said, he can get moved.
