There isn't a thing THJ does offensively that can't be made up by someone like Grant/Kuz/Tobias. If THJ's "skill" was so important, it wouldn't be relegated to the bench.
I think the following balances the rotation so much more than it is with defensive sieve THJ having to take a role because we are so limited offensively outside of our stars.
Lively Someone
Tobias GWill
DJJ Green
Kyrie Exum
Luka Lu-Ky
That would make us more size appropriate, and probably a little better. My question is how does it impact next season? If Tobias walks, where does that leave us cap wise? Maybe 16 mil in cap space? Enough to retain DJJ but not much else. And we will have sent out most of our "fodder" contracts in the trade, making it more difficult to make a big trade without giving up important pieces. Do we sign Tobias to something smaller? That lets us keep team as is, but still makes it awkward for big trade. Is that a roster you see having any chance to contend?
