...If you are a team wanting to turn cap room into a "human TPE" as you term it, why isn't THJ as good for that purpose as DJJ or anyone else? And does THJ being an offensive player perhaps add to his desirability, vs DJJ's lack of offense?
Even though I hear people saying these ideas repeatedly (being said separately), I have a hard time accepting that a team will invest a 22M contract in DJJ, in preference to 16M for THJ.
I guess the argument in favor of going one way over the other brings us back to what's best for the new team ON COURT, although I think you make an excellent point here. And, in Detroit's case, specifically, I'm not sure it matters, since both players are too old to be relevant the next time the Pistons will be.
