Thabo Guaranteed for 2018-2019 Season

[Jazz4ever]

Good defender, 38% 3 point shooter last year, could do a lot worse for 5m a year. With Bron out west thats one more big SF we will need to defend.
He would have been signed instantly by someone else if we waived him, like lightspeed.

Im so dissapointed in everyone who likes this.

Y'all know he is 34 coming off MCL surgery. Has never averaged more than 8pts per game, and pretty has never done anything ever.

But I guess everyone is expecting the 34 year old with the bum knee to lock up some of the best wings in the game.

Right.

Ill see you in the reget threads midway through the season.

I cant help but think that money could have been more useful somewhere else.

The absolute worst case scenario is that he’s an expiring to use in a trade. Best case is that he’s a contributor. . It’s win win

When I was at the Clippers-Jazz game I was impressed by Thabo's play. It sucks he got hurt. But he's definitely worth having as part of the 2nd unit. If I had to choose between Thabo, Jonas & Ekpe I'd choose Thabo without hesitation.

Thabo adds to the culture and he had his best offensive season with us. Not everyone needs to be young.

His second highest offensive season and the second fewest games. His highest offensive season was the one season he played in even less games. He’s had one full season in 13 years. Not everyone needs to be young, but I think someone with some upside would be nice. I guess I just don’t expect him to be healthy, and I don’t expect him to improve. Seems like there are better ways to use a roster spot.

O’Neale is a fantastic wing defender already. “Significantly” May be a stretch.

History may not be but the Jazz coaching staff is.

Maybe. I could argue that Thabo's 1 more steal per game leads to easy fast break buckets and that's about the only statistical difference. But Thabo still 113/101 vs Royce's 105/104. +12 is pretty good; +1 isn't.

Royce will get better.

I think a lot depends on how well he recovers from his injury. If he is fully recovered and I'm sure the Jazz have monitored that closely, then it's a no-brainer. The guy is underrrated and he is 34 not 37-38 like Joe Jesus.

Good move. Brings back a useful player who fits the culture while maintaining long-term flexibility.

No you won’t. He’s an expiring contract, good locker room presence and a great vet teacher for Mitchell, Allen, O’Neale and Exum in the final year for such things.

Being upset over this is simply petty sour grapes.

Sour grapes make wine. Wine is an aphrodisiac. I think you are hitting on me. Also you are slurrying your words and not making sense.

To get to the finals a team will have to beat at least two of: Curry/Durant, Lebron, Mitchell/Gobert, Towns/Butler, Westbrook/George, Harden/CP3

Then you have Lillard/McCollum and the brow with drew holiday and possibly cousins.

You got a purty mouth

Thabo is insurance for if/when Favors leaves. I think we sent the delegation to Atlanta to beg Favors to come back. Based off the feel of the meeting, we decided to bring back Thabo as insurance just in case Favors does leave.

Just my opinion based on the tea leaves.
