THYBULLE. I think Thybulle is likely to be available at a much lesser price (an even THJ swap with no picks imo), but I also think he's a much lesser player than AC. His offense is generally bad, and mostly invisible. I have others I like way better for THJ. He doesn't entirely solve the money-for-DJJ with certainty (it's probably only up to 6.5-7.0M, instead of 5.2M, which is something but it's not a relatively huge bump). Then again, FWIW yes I would swap THJ for MT before I'd want to keep THJ.
No argument here, other than what I believe is an overly optimistic view on a path to acquire Caruso.
I think Thybulle is one of the most overhyped players this board has ever fetishized, and said so often and loudly during that hellish few days when the Mavericks had an offer sheet signed by him. In no way do I think he compares to Caruso in terms of all around skill or playability, and I even think his defense is overrated in a vacuum.
I agree with you that he is gettable for something similar to just Hardaway, and the only reason I would be slightly interested in that deal this time around is that we would no longer be talking about the job that Derek Jones Junior just won, but rather a chance to compete for the bench job Green can’t quite get his arms around. I can reluctantly envision him having a chance to be successful there.
