2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Mapka]

I like THJ, but he does not fit perfectly next to Luka.  He is a below average defender, does not create for others, and does not create a lot for himself.  Most of the guys being talked about improve on one or more of those issues (Kawhi, Conley, Lowry, Ball, Powell).

If we end up with THJ+Dinwiddle, then we would hopefully operate over the cap (JRich for Din) meaning we keep WCS and have the full MLE on top.  Even then, I would consider that a significant failure of the offseason.

That's like saying a horse is no perfect fit to ride, because it can't fly also.
Luka needs a shooting guard ready to shot. That's what THJ is.

And left with is defender he is able to get his shot off. That's not the same like create for himself but is a very important skill next to Luka, who might tend to overdribble sometimes and then need a fast emergency valve.

I won't argue about the defense, we know he is no plus there over the long time, but he can be in sparks.

But getting someone with his needed offense and being a plus defender is just not possible.

So perfect fit next to Luka and someone like Lowry or Conley.
