2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

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.

But the thing is there are guys out there that provide THJ offense with more to offer like Fournier (playmaking), Powell (defense), Ball (playmaking and defense) that may be only a few million more a year.  If we get Lowry and can only fit THJ in cap (and I don't think we have the cap for that without other moves) or we can S&T Lowry (not sure Toronto will be interested) then he makes some sense.

In a world where we are not getting Lowry or doing any S&T, its hard to justify spending what it will take to get THJ when we can spend a few more to get better fits (unless of course we can't get those guys here, which is entirely possible).
