If he is the guy he was last season (basically Bullock with a little more passing ability) then I would be up for it. If he is what he was the rest of his career, then I am not interested.Hmmm, I finally looked at his stats and I don’t really see what you’re saying at all. Looks like his biggest issue is his ability to stay healthy in all honesty. Last year was his most games played pretty much by far. His last 3 years of stats are pretty much perfect for the role he would play here (as far as career year last year? Most of his stats declined from the year before). He doesn’t have the flashy ppg stat that we know THJ can produce, but 12 ppg off the bench on pretty good efficiency is all we need if he’s a plus defender. He would for sure solidify our middle of the roster and then next year if he fits can sign to a smaller deal.
I would much prefer a better ball handler than Walker in the deal, but him expiring makes it less a concern.
