I wonder if the THJ deal was agreed upon before Nico and Kidd took over. Under RC a new contract for him would have made a lot of sense. He was a crucial part of the offense and one of the best high volume 3-point shooters in the league.
But his defensive limitations were obvious. Stated many times in different threads. He is a solid on ball defender but a really bad team defender. Kidd introduced new defensive schemes that require more rotations/switches/activity off the ball and knowingly gave a big contract to a player that does not fit into his prefered schemes? Makes no sense.
