And what happened to him in the losses was connected to what happened to the whole team and happened against a team that could have easily won the west.
I don't think you lose to the Clippers and then conclude that THJ is nothing. Get the right additions that put THJ and DFS down a notch in the pecking order and watch what that, plus their new found playoff experience, does for them. I think we'll find that THJ is a winning piece. Having said that, if you can use him to get something better then do it.
I'm adamant in my take on THJ, which is that he's great for the Mavs - as a sixth man. Even then, he's less than ideal, because he can't create his own shot (which is what you want from a sixth man). He cannot start next to Luka because of defense. He's JET. Don't Cut the Check.
