So, there's a player who is an amazing defender but has made no progress on his 3 so a contender is trading him because they can't afford to let him avoid or miss wide open 3's while trying to win a title. Teams in the middle of the pack won't want him because no one wants to be in the middle and Thybulle doesn't change anything. So then who would be best served to take on a guy like that? Perhaps a team that's already heavily invested in player development and is in the process of accumulating assets that may increase in value with some playing time and PR. We're the perfect team to take on Thybulle. Who the hell else but tanking teams should do it? Thybulle, like Tate, needs his development accelerated with heavy training and some reps on in-game 3's that he would not get on a contender. I don't think it's for sure that he develops a 3pt shot, but it's a great risk to take imo because if he does he could be a tremendous piece at a great price, something like what Moute or prime Ariza were for us in the past. Need 2-3 of those to win a title.

Rockets get to look at THT for the rebuild. 76ers get Gordon, dump Harris. Pacers upgrade their forward spot, dump Hield who I doubt they want anyway with Halliburton, Mathurin. Lakers use their remaining assets to land a shooter. Porter - Green - Tate - Smith - Sengun Christopher - THT - Eason - Martin - Garuba Washington - Nix - Mathews - Nwaba - Boban
No, my opinion doesn't mean anything. But there are people who understand vaccines. They are called doctors and scientists. They know vaccines work. There are also people who don't believe vaccines work. They are called idiots. When he needs real medical treatment I guess he will just look online and do his research? Go to another team, not wanted here. Better yet, go play with Kyrie somewhere.
Thybulle, KJ Martin, Milton to team X for future 1st Korkmaz, Bassey, (Joe*, Reed* waived) 1st to Hou Gordon to Philly Hou waives Nwaba, Burke, Brown, signs a vet min backup PG (Campazzo or DJ Augustin) G - Jalen Green | Fucando Campazzo | TyTy Washington G - Kevin Porter | Josh Christopher | Daishen Nix F - Jae'Sean Tate | Garrison Mathews | Furkan Korkmaz F - Jabari Smith | Usman Garuba | Tari Eason C - Alperen Sengun | Boban Marjanovic | Charles Bassey That team feels right, Sengun and Korkmaz with the Turkish connect, Campazzo and Garuba with the Spanish connect, tenacious Tate with the starters gritty Gary off the bench, Boban causing a ruckus. Let us get it.
Minute adjusted differences are Tate averages double the points, FTs, rebounds, and assists Thybulle averages double the steals and blocks Thybulle is a defensive beast, and Tate is a much more complete player. Another difference is Tate has 30 pounds on Thybulle.
I don't care about his personal health decisions, I care that he's better defensively than Tate who doesn't do anything well.
I think the defense would be more beneficial to the Rockets than what Tate thinks he can do offensively.
Thybulle is a much better defensive player than Tate and he’s taller, but they’re gonna make similar money next season, and Thybulle will be an RFA in 2023. Trading for him make zero sense for the rockets; especially with Tate on a 3-yr team friendly deal. they’ve been trying to do a 3-way for a while now, but with Green’s expiring contract not available, it’s hard for me to see how something gets done with Philly. My worry is that we end up trading Gordon for a poor return because we want to do right by him. To me, paying him $20+ mil over many years was doing plenty right by him.
we are witnessing the nets blow up because Kyrie didn't want to get the shot and we are witnessing Morey trying to get rid of Thybulle because of him not getting the shot because he couldn't play in over half the games in a play off series... STOP WANTING PROBLEM PLAYERS ON THIS ROSTER.
Thybull missed playoff games for them (Raptors); couldn't play the away games. The HOME games he wasn't good. While that's not going to be a concern here, our playing time is limited. If we're going to be bad; I rather it go to the young guys. I looked at some of his interviews; he's open to things like alternative medicine. If it's stuff like taking ginseng or doing acupuncture, that's fine. The thing is, people in the Far East believes in vaccines, they don't think of their stuff 'as substitutes'. Thybull makes people who also use non-western medicine look bad. As far as the whole as a contending team role player, if Matisse was that, Daryl wouldn't be trying to trade him for an Eric Gordon. If he's there to make the salary match, I'm fine with it. But it's the FRP(s) that we're after. Hopefully it's from a fringe team, whose record isn't too good.
I actually like Tate, but Thybulle's defense is better than Tate's offense, defense, passing, rebounds, etc. combined, check his BPM Thybulle has more of an impact than Tate who is a near or slightly below league-average defender. Also, he's 24 years old, Tate is 26. Matisse also played on a team with Embiid, Harden, Maxey, and Tobias Harris when it came to usage, Tate would have terrible offensive numbers as well there. This would be a much better place for Thybulle to develop. Also here is film of Thybulle, you have never seen breakdowns of Tate's game or defense like this:
Not worried about making the playoffs, Rockets are still a year or two away.... This whole thing is already blowing over, they are desperate because they still think Harden can win them a ring lol..... Let them unload good young talent, we can develop them and cash in later...
That's the thing though. Daryl wants Gordon, he's not asking for Tate. If Tate is not shipped, we'll have a situation of both Matisse and Jae'sean here. If Tate is part of a deal, then they have to find more players to match what HOU is shipping out.
