Regardless of how you view him, the quote names THJ specifically, if his sources around the league are giving honest options, that kinda trumps your thoughts on the matter I would think.

That is fair.   I was not in favor of targeting THJ last offseason.  I wanted them to think bigger.

I do think he offers more than just a shooter.  But this season should give us a good answer.  I would not expect him to be a red hot asset, but I think he would not be a negative asset if he played to his 2020 level of play.

Fischer's take, in my own words, is that a player whose only contribution is shooting, like THJ, isn't seen as being worth more than about 15M a year, thus THJ doesn't excite the Cavs. He also mentioned Duncan Robinson, Bertans, Hield, Joe Harris (that's all I recall but there may have been one or two more) as players viewed as someone who provides "shooting" and that's about all.

He wasn't making this point directly, but obviously if THJ can be seen as being more than just a shooter, it changes the value perception.

Thanks
