There’s no way you could convince me that he’s worth acquiring unless it’s for a smaller contract that is incentivized heavily upon him staying healthy. Even then it’s not appealing.
I’d rather bring Humphries back at a small contract then sign Stanley.

Yeah, Stanley's not really on my radar for that same reason.
He's more name than production at this point.
That said, it's at least somewhat disengenuous to cite a 5 year window when he was A) mostly healthy prior to 20/21 and B) has been fairly healthy in 23 and 24.
I mean he's played 80% of the games over the last 3 seasons -- expanding that out to 5 is a pretty obvious example of using arbitrary endpoints to establish an argument. He played 88% of the games in the first 4 years of his career. Over the 9 seasons he's played, he's played 84% of the games in aggregate over 7 of them.
So barring the two seasons that were just lost years, he's reasonably likely to play 12-13 games. If he's capable of playing at an elite level and the injury risk is priced in, that's someone worth keeping an eye on.
But I'm not breaking the bank for him or building my offseason around him either.
