Trade & FA 2024-25:

[F Gump]

For what it's worth, here's a year old video I found of a pretty smart Portland guy analyzing what he liked/didn't like after Thybulle's initial stretch there. This is going into last summer, before the Dallas offer. 

EDIT: new link is cued up to the most relevant part of the video:

 It's interesting that this POR fan thought MT value heading into free agency last summer was about 6.3M. Offensive comments were not complimentary - brutal, really. Looks like the Mavs offered him 11M to try to make him too expensive for POR to match, and stuck with quite an overpay if they did.

Is it that after another year, with no real progress in his game, POR will be eager for someone to take him, but with the change in the roster, the Mavs won't be interested at all?
