This is exactly why we need to send John Wall to Cabo and trade Augustine next year. Sure, guys like Khyri probably won't be any good but at least we'll have the spare rotation minutes to find our for ourselves.
Define "actively" moving him? I believe Khyri Thomas is getting an audition right now. It's not just putting an 8 man team together to avoid forfeited games. Spalding, Patton, DJ Wilson and now Lamb also have or had their auditions. The team can be on the fence with moving Augustin depending on the situation. Boy Scout rule, "always be prepared." Keep in mind Conley was injured most of last season. One of the reason I have no faith in Suns or Jazz is because Conley and CP3 injury history around this time in the season. Jordan Clarkson is playing better than he did last year, added Favors again, and I'm a big fan of Bojan Bogdanovic. I'm a big critic of Eric Gordon making big money coming off the bench in the past, but as a starter this season he has earned his keep. I expect him to bring us 18 points a game again next season. Kenyon Martin Jr is taking advantage of the Silas system that House should be doing. Slash, cut, dive to rim. House should do it better as he is a bigger threat from 3. But that has not been the case. I'm ready to ship out Mr. flirt into the camera and post it-D House. Nwaba and Sterling Brown are free agents.....so possibly a bidding war that Tilman won't want to get in. They won't get much (each) but it still may price us out.
For the record I don't expect Cade Cunningham and Jalen Green to make only a handful of All Star games over a 20 year career. I think each could make at least 12 out of 20 yr careers. Michael Jordan made 14 All Star games.....every season he played. But took a season off to play baseball and then retired and unretired. So MJ could have been an All Star for 18 seasons, and yes I consider that an All Star for decades. Even at 14 All Stars, because it covered a time span greater than 10 years. If Player A has 12 All Stars but failed to make the All Star game his first two season (8 out of 10 seasons), but made an All Star in the first two season of the second set of 10 years.......10 All Star games out of 12 seasons. Is it not multiple All Stars over greater than a 10 year span. Meaning plural decades.....not just one decade (10 yrs)? If you tell Player A he was only an All Star for a decade.....he will fire back, more than a decade. Meaning plural or more than a decade. Two sets of 10 year spans. Decades
He is scoring 27 points per 36 minutes, shooitng 57% from the field, 40% from 3, 100% from the line. He is the next Steph Curry for sure. There's only one question left: Can Khyri Thomas carry his own team?
i like what i see out of him. could be a nice bench addition. plays decent D and makes good aggressive drives to the basket on offense. also built like a brick shithouse.
I love how he complements Porter and Wood actually, catch and shoot sniper as well as a plus switch defender. And more consistent 3ball shooter than Armoni Brooks.
I love Thomas's defense. He was playing really good defense on Lillard last night. Although I prefer a switch everything scheme, it was impressive fighting through those Nurkic drives. Lillard still got the best of him because honestly, too hard to play one on one defense on such a good shooter from long range without playing the switch.
