But the idea discussed here is - would it make sense to cash in for THJ for a similar size (and duration) contract and assets(s). For eaxample Orlando and Isaac. Mavs would still have expiring contract to deal in the summer and another pick in the chest. I don't think they would be any worse dealing THJ even as good as he was so far. Even if they lose a couple of games because of that, so what. It’s about long term, not about having a couple of more wins this season.
Are we thinking Orlando would give up draft capital in a THJ for Isaac deal? I’m not sure fans in Orlando would agree. Isaac’s D has been incredible and he has the more flexible contract. Yeah, he’s got an injury history and yes Orlando could use THJ’s shooting. But, we could also use what Isaac brings to the table. I’m not positive we’d be receiving Isaac and a pick of some kind. I think it would be a pretty good deal straight up.
