Thornton sucks. He's inconsistent as a scorer and might catch fire once every 8 games. He's consistently a bad defender though. He brings nothing to the table if his shot isn't on. There is a reason why he has bounced around from team to team. Stop overrating him.
Name one comparable replacement for the rest of the season that will give you that production with that salary
salary should never justify a player being able to play horribly. When the weakest point of this team is obviously defense, he in no way shape or form improves that. In fact he does the opposite.
But Thibs would surely get him to play defense right? Well according to some people on this board at least... Nate Robinson Are we all on the same page that Morey's analytics need severe improvement - especially regarding fit/chemistry and defense - or he should go? Stockpiling no defense and cancerous players... ugh.
