That world IMO still has THJ coming off the bench being overpaid, because I really don’t believe he brings his best worth as a starter (next to Luka or not, just in general). He got this current contract playing off the bench in Atl, I think he showed his biggest worth when he came off the bench this year too.
I don't understand this fascination you have with "starting"...
Do you remember Jason Terry as a starter? He was, of course. He came off the bench, but was the 2nd most important offensive player on every Mavs team he was a part of. He played super high minutes, always more than whoever "started" in his place. It was just a way of maximizing rotation patterns. I can easily see THJ coming off the bench like THAT, but he's not going to be a 20 minutes per night type of guy. I think ANY team would value him more highly than that.
