Thanks Kryptonic! Really appreciate the threads.

Thanks Kryptonic! Really appreciate the threads.

You betchya .

[ShelC]

Some salary cap info. I'm sure this will somehow screw us over.

[Split T]

Those are the numbers I was already expecting…so from my standpoint it doesn’t screw us haha

Europe bound

[TOO]

OKC can fix him.

[Mori Chu]

Teams don't want low-percentage-shooting, non-passing chuckers. That is why we won't find many takers for Jalen Green.

[Split T]

Thomas’s issues have to go beyond the court. Every team in the league would take the production. He put up 24 a game on decent efficiency last year. There are issues as you mentioned…he doesn’t pass or defend, but he can get buckets. I have to assume he’s not very coachable and is unwilling to adjust his game at all.

Yeah, I'm thinking there has to be a personality issue. The guy can score with the best of them. He's gotten waived twice now. Something ain't right with him.

[Mori Chu]

I read that the Bucks were worse on both ends of the court when he played. And he never passes and probably doesn't listen. Black hole. Coach Doc Rivers probably got sick of the guy.

[Split T]

He barely played for the Bucks, but he was not good. Kinda hard to evaluate like 10 games. Look at his full season last year in Brooklyn. He’s a talented scorer for sure.

[TOO]

His issue has to be coachability, he can definitely get you buckets, and that doesn't grow on trees. I like his ability to score, but something is definitely off.

[ShelC]

I think there are so many talented guys around that teams are just less inclined to deal with headaches. Unless they're some generational talent, it's not worth the effort.
