    I never said I wanted to sign Thomas, but I think you're underestimating him.

    On:

    45 FG%
    57 TS%
    6.8 OWS
    20 PER

    Some haven't watched him enough. He put up these numbers in a role that doesn't get the most out of him: he's a gunner in the mold of what Barea did in Dallas.

    Who brought the best out of his skillset (scorer, getting into the paint)? Terry Stotts.

    Re: FA starts in 30mins!

    I'd be interested in Thomas but not at the cost of a starter. What the bench needs besides defense is another person that can put up 20 a night on a any night basis. He would give them another option.

    He's much much better than Mo, so if the goal is to replace Mo, he would be perfect.

    I, however, want someone more like Shaun Livingston.

    This is another thing. Thomas isn't going to be cheap, like Thaddeus young in philly, last season really over inflated their value. We would have to give up too much to get Isaiah and would end up with even more holes than we had.

    What I would like about Livingston is his length and defense. He's like a batum type player. Not as good obviously

    What you didn't post is his opponents numbers against him.

    better shooting percentage than dame...

    im not a huge fan of isiah but mo is really not...that..good. i think the market for mo's services will reflect how much the league values him.
    watch him get 5 mil a year now that i said that and have this comment come to bight me in the ass

    In a role that doesn't get the most out of him? You mention he's a gunner, and that's what he was. The role was perfect for him. He had a higher USG rate than Damian did.

    He's a gunner who is a very efficient scorer.

    Clearly not a defensive anchor.

    Doesn't have to be as good. He just has to play with Dame for 5-10 minutes a game and run the second unit. I think Livingston would be perfect for that role.

    With high volume 3-point shooters, you need to look at eFG% or TS% instead of raw FG%.
