DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[SleepingHero]

I think DeMar is a good player but not a better fit in the Mavs offense than THJ. Luka creates a lot of wide open shots from outside which THJ can hit. He had a very good year despite a slow start. Unless we find a clear upgrade I am good with THJ in the back court with Luka for a full year. I think you will see him continue to thrive. His shot selection i thought improved over the course of the year.  He knows he is the third option.

By all accounts THJ had a career year. 39% from 3. That is almost a 5% increase from his career average. Who's to say that THJ doesn't catapult back down to earth after having an outlier efficient year?

I think DeRozan's value as an elite pick n roll creator is far more valuable than THJ hitting an outside 3. Especially considering in this hypothetical, the Mavs would obtain 2 more outside shooters that could replace that production. 

THJ is a sold starter. But we've seen how inconsistent he can be, and how that drastically limits the ceiling for any contending team. The unrealistic plan I proposed is an ultimate plan "Have it Both Ways"
