All roads, Dan, all roads.

THT just makes too much sense.  The more I think about the ups and downs of KP, I just have a hard time thinking of a better guy to slot into the Luka/KP core.  If KP is the long term future, THT will not ruffle KP's feathers as KP would still be the clear #2 option.  Even better, if the Mavs decide to part ways with KP, you can bring back any player/position without worrying about fit or redundancy.  

I think he's shown enough to put you at ease as a secondary ball handler and is very promising from the standpoint of getting teammates involved.  He's got the physical tools and motor to be a top defense player in the league.  The question mark, as you pointed out, is can he improve that 3PT shooting.  His form looks fine to me.  I really think he could be a mini-Pippen.

I am leery of putting any player next to Luka who cannot stretch the floor (either from 3 or as roll man), especially if they are going to be a significant cost.  Same reason I'm out on DeRozan (although at least THT is young and provides needed defense).
