2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

At this point, now that he's had this stretch of 32% 3 point shooting and was demoted to the bench, all teams have to ask, were the 2 seasons of great shooting an anomaly or the new norm. The Mavs themselves were shopping THJ and looking for a shooter, tells you how much confidence they have in him, and if they aren't confident in him, why would anyone else be? I know you guys all want to see him as at least neutral value so we can hope for the best. I see his current value as no different than when he was at NY at this point.

Sure, after next season when he's had a chance to prove who he is as a shooter his value could become neutral to positive, but we're not talking about trading him in a year.

I mean he played well enough before Dallas to land that huge contract (which accounting for cap size was bigger than the one he is on now), so its not just the two years he had here.  

Also, the talk was trading him for Holmes, who is also a distressed asset.  He is having arguably a shittier season than THJ, and it will be for an entire season instead of half of one.  He was a free agent last year and Sacto could not pay more than his current 12 mil salary, yet nobody offered more.  He has not done much other than his last season or two as well.  Why is THJ rough half season going to tear down his value, but the same does not apply to Holmes?
