Thubulle’s defense is probably a little better, Ntilikina’s handles and general offensive competency is a bit better (still nowhere near good enough). How is that not basically the same situation?
If the Mavs get Grant Williams (my preference) or Washington, this off-season will get an A from me. While I’m not against having Thybulle on the roster, giving him a multi-year deal at MLE money seems insane to me.
I think thybulle is one of the best defenders in the game, a little longer than frank, and a better shooter. I think next to Luka and kyrie he would be a passable shooter (something frank was not) and elite defender. In a perfect world we could send out Timmy+ for PJ and get thybulle with mle
