If so, it then leaves the soft spots at C backup (since Powell isn't playoff playable, and they also need to have an answer for the traditional center), and maybe Small Wing Backup (if THJ isn't up to a being a 2-way player).
I think the 1st can be solved by a Powell-Favors swap. I suspect the 2nd will have to wait until TDL, to allow THJ to prove to other teams he is healthy and is worth having for the ones who need scoring skills.
I also see potential in a THJ-for-Favors/JaGreen deal, which solves C and PF and leaves a small hole at backup Small Wing, which could be solved by some combo of DFS at SF, some 3-creator lineups, with perhaps Green/Franky and/or Dragic used too. The downside to that idea is that it doesn't reliably add a new "playoff-playable wing" (I think JaGreen is very iffy) and you've used your ammo (THJ) that you had to get one.
