The idea of Thon on defense is better theoretically than it is in reality. In reality he's a poor defender.

that's why i said "defensive upside" instead of "defensive ability". his effort on D comes and goes and his career stats aren't great but he has many moments of defensive brilliance which is all we needed from him really. despite playing only 6 min, he pretty much won the game for the pistons today in OT by playing some defense on jokic so spectacular that even rudy probably wouldn't have pulled off. i'd be happy with him taking niang's minutes, especially when the game is on the line and we need to make some stops. nothing more.

If the Jazz traded for him he would be behind Bradley and Niang in the rotation. He wouldn't get Niangs minutes. Niang is a better shooter and for better or worse that's why he's on the floor. It's what Quin wants on the floor. And he wouldn't get Bradley's minutes because Bradley has more experience in the system and is frankly a better player.
 
Maker is dumb af. Although he possesses an almighty karate kick and willingness to mix it up with fans and go into the stands to do so
 
If we make a move it will likely be in the Maker price range... I don’t have much hope that he’s a useful player or an improvement over TB. He’d be more useful though for purposes of combining two players when @infection figures out how to make that technology work... I imagine he’s in his garage tweaking the flux capacitor and will have it done any day now.
