If we got a defensive big and there weren't many minutes for him, doesn't that mean Thompson is a better player? If you can't play well enough to get minutes then you aren't as good a defensive stopper as you think.
No, the point is if we sign JT for say 6M or possibly more, how much $ do we have to go out and get the defensive big we don't have. If we were to get one and he becomes our 3rd big, then we're paying a newly signed JT 6M+ to be a 4th big.
Cuz 3.9M
TRob 3M?
Hayes 5.5M
JT 6M+
about 18M total and none intimidate or block shots. If we bring back JT there isn't even room for a shotblocking 3rd big. And if we did somehow bring one in and he jumped JT in the rotation, then we're paying our 4th and 5th bigs, JT/Hayes a combined 11.5M+.
