Message to DJJ. We like you, appreciate you, but there are limits to that. Also, if Thompson is a starter, how much do you really want to pay for his back-up?
And to me, this kind of speaks to the plans (or lack thereof) they have for Quentin Grimes. If he's not going to play this position at all, he's not going to play very much. I know some have said he's more of a 2 for them, but that puts him not only behind Luka and Kyrie, but also competing with Hardy and Exum for a role.
I don't really like how this seems to be shaping up, but we'll see!
