Thybulle with Portland: defensive rating 116.4 (better than Portland's 118.0 defensive rating as a team but he dragged their offense down under 110 so he was still an overall negative)
Green with Dallas: defensive rating 112.8 (Dallas as a team was 116.1)
Both defenses were putrid. But Green making Dallas' defense -3.3 better is better than the -2.4 better you have listed for Thybulle.
I would much rather add someone with size who could realistically slide up to at the least the 4 spot than just have Thybulle come in and either take minutes from Green lowering his potential value in a trade or being so bad he's glued to the bench like Frank was (not unlikely, either). I'll just be on record kind of hoping Portland matches
You are using a 22 game sample for a guy that got traded mid season and had to learn a new team. There is a lot of noise with on/off numbers and you want a big sample. The original post showed his career impact, which takes out most of the noise. He is legit. Green is a promising young defender, but I don't think he is in Thybulle class.
