Seems like Theis has been in danger of losing his spot in the league lately, to me. Glad he's got a chance in LA though!
But that's not because he can't play, but because Pacers (obviously) prefer to play their younger players. To quote RC: “He’s a pro,” [...] I have no problems with Theis. The guy won the World Cup this summer, he came in and had a good training camp and things have fallen the way things have fallen.” (https://www.fieldhousefiles.com/p/source...-on-buyout)
So to me Pacers management lost their gamble when they thought they could use him for trade activities, as he was clearly never in their plans. His market was probably not too big with his pricetag and age.
But I believe he is a great fit for the Clippers and mark my words: if they go far in the Playoffs, then only because of his contributions.
