2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[KillerLeft]

All of the players I listed aside from JB are far better defenders than THJ.

Maybe, but the offense is the problem this year. The defense isn't perfect, but it's improving. This is one of the most pitiful offenses I've seen in quite some time, which is shocking given where the team was several months ago. 

I'm not even saying that making it work with THJ at any cost is necessarily the best option. But, simply taking him out of the rotation would be insane. You either have to get him back on track or use him productively in a trade. If your point is that the players you mentioned are just better overall players, I'd say that's anti-THJ bias. The version of THJ the Mavs got the previous two seasons is better than any of them, which is why he got paid more than any of them. If the Mavs can get that player going again, trust me, they'll be better off for it. If they can't because he doesn't fit here in Kidd's system as well, then they should trade him, ASAP. Simply letting others take his place in line during the first year of his new contract seems like the dumbest possible way of approaching the problem to me.
