The reasonable argument is the team reached the WCF without him. When Timmy went down that season the Mavs were 27-21. They ended the season 23-11 without him.
If Timmy was this integral player, why did the team improve so much after he went down?
I would like to upgrade THJ with a player who can shoot the 3 but also plays solid defense.
Trading THJ without replacing him though leaves us with Jaden Hardy and Seth Curry replacing his minutes. They've both been wet dogshit this year. I was bullish this offseason on Jaden Hardy but he's been terrible this year. He's been worse than THJ both on offense and defense. There are 40 guys in the G-league who can match his production. Seth Curry is a shooting specialist with an eFG% of 47.8. That's pathetic. I believe he'll retire this offseason as he won't generate any more NBA interest. Even Josh Green has struggled this year. I'm a big Josh Green supporter and he's improved in the last few weeks but THJ has clearly been better this season.
Here are the players in our rotation who THJ is better than: Jaden Hardy, Seth Curry, Josh Green, Grant Williams and Maxi Kleber. Once we upgrade all of those players, than we should concentrate on upgrading the THJ role.
