Yet precisely for that reason, Sacramento didn't want him anymore (he wasn't involving Cousins and others enough) and he's alienated the Suns' best PG, Dragic. Congrats to Phoenix. In trying to hedge against Bledsoe leaving, they brought in a guy who is causing their best player to leave.

Oh? Does he have character issues? I don't know about these things. But as a player, he would be greatly beneficial to the Jazz. He would instantly give us one of the best benches in the NBA (if Hood becomes decent).

He takes more shots because he scores A LOT more. That's like complaining Melo is too good offensively.

His TS% is pretty good. But the problem with him is that he's a ballhog... even more so than Trey. With him the problem is not that he won't score efficiently, it's that he has tunnel vision and will be passing even less than Trey... It's all a question of whether or not you think you can make that work with the system. To me he looks like a perfect piece off the bench if you lack scoring, but not so good a piece to start and orchestrate your team...

According to some reports - yes... according to others it's just the "chip on the shoulder" attitude. Different people seem to take it in different ways...

I'm not saying he has character issues. I'm just saying he's known as a PG who doesn't pass the ball. Burke is a poor man's Thomas. He has the same shooter's mentality but just doesn't convert as many shots.

But it really doesn't matter. I think Dragic is going to Miami. They've apparently offered two firsts. Phoenix wants more, but they won't get it. Just like we had to do with Deron (not taking a chance on him leaving as a FA), they HAVE to pull the trigger. And that mean Thomas will remain with Phoenix.

It's posts like this that makes you one of my favorite posters on this forum, Stifle.

Couldn't agree more. And frankly, it makes me appreciate what KOC did with the DWill trade, both in terms of the assets he got back as well as the finesse with which he executed it. ("Yeah, would you be interested in AK? No? Who would you be interested in?") Rather than: "Deron wants to be traded and will only go to a big market. What would you give up for him?"
