Thybulle is even better than DJJ and PJ on that end and I think he would be a great fit in Kidd's scheme. There is no better/more active off ball defender in the league. Looking at tracking numbers Thybulle is in a league of his own when it comes to deflections, steals/36. For a team that likes to overload a player that covers a lot of ground, plays the gaps and passing lanes is the perfect fit.
This is all good, and I know you well enough to respect your basketball opinions.
Tell me how it fixes the mavericks’ 101 offensive rating from the NBA finals.
Again, I am not against it, but, while I am not exactly Red Auerbach over here, i’m pretty confident this move slides them further away from fixing what was wrong with the offense, not closer to that solution.
If it ends up being a smaller move in the grand scheme of the summer, I’m cool with it. I LOVE the defensive identity the team has now, and I am all for continuing it, but they’ve GOT to fix things on the offensive end, and that has to be the main goal of this summer.
