[KillerLeft]

jet was a terrific combo guard and he could handle the ball well, but I doubt Klay would be the right to do that. we still need to find a backup ball handler (hardy maybe?).

Agree, but not every sixth man has to be a microwave scorer. I think Gump's point is that Thompson could be the first off the bench and a significant, consistent source of offensive production in the second unit, and I agree. I also understand his point about how much easier it is to accept a lesser role on a new team, rather than a demotion on the team you helped build. That’s real.

But, I don’t think that is what is going to happen here.
