I understand the desire/thinking to bring THJ back, but I just don't see a starting core of KP/Luka/DFS/THJ being good enough defensively to contend, and by bringing THJ back you have greatly limited any chance to improve that core in the last free agency period they can operate in for a while.
This all assumes we are not trading KP. Trading KP changes everything. Then you can get a defensive rim running center and possibly a 2 way shooting guard to offset the defensive limitations of Luka and THJ.
Regardless of what we do, it's hard to see the LM fit. He is a poor man's KP in every way. There would have to be some major changes in the roster for that to make any sense. I would probably rather have Theis right now as we could really use some toughness in the frontcourt.
Right so I just don't know what the choices will be, but they seem like thin to me. If choices are thin then I want to grab talent. I don't mind Theis at all. LM could be an appreciating asset once Rick gets to work on him.
The likely targets floating around in my head right now so far are Dragic, LM, Collins, Holmes (not in any order). Not convinced yet KP will be on the move but want to see how this series plays out. I like Theis but Bulls I think want to keep him.
