    The Spurs might win 70 next season if he goes there.

    It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

      No, you've seen him be a great passer many times. Court vision does not equal floor leadership.

      That's not something you can work on in an empty gym. Either you're a point guard or you're not.

      HIll isn't a true point either, but he also doesn't make the other 4 guys on the floor look like they want to strangle him in the middle of the game.

        Kstat is right all do to his percieved size issue.

        It is just like in Moneyball he looks funny so he can't be good. The funny thing is he plays much bigger than Collison. Darren plays smaller his frame is so slight. Thomas can actually finish with contact and he gets to the free throw line.

            PER among PGs last season:

            1. Paul
            2. Westbrook
            3. Curry
            4. Thomas

            ah. Not to be a dick, but you did say offensive efficiency. PER doesn't measure that (it really doesn't measure anything, extremely useless tbh), it takes in defensive rebounds, steals and blocks into equation.

              The funny thing is I reduced my intake of NBA games last year. The year before I watched that cluster **** play double that amount. For some reason I am drawn to the Kings. With Mike Malone blowing up on the team every other game that was must watch TV. Plus the late night games offer a limited choice the Kings are always on.

              I really hope they turn that franchise around. That fan base deserves a winner.

              p4e!!! What's up man, Area55 represent....

              Have you been lucky enough to witness a game inside Sleep Train? It's truly fantastic. Old school through and through. It's a shame that our society frowns upon professional arenas like Sleep Train. Toss in those fans and it's incredibly magical. I was at the OT game where Pizza Guy and Thornton combined for 104 points (haven't looked it up to confirm the exact total). It was absolute madness. Those fans are the best in the league in my opinion without ever witnessing a game in Portland (although I was there for March Madness and that city sure does love their team.... Rasheed Wallace bubbleheads in multiple bars, imagine Ron Ron or Captain Jack at the Pub).

              I highly recommend to any and everyone reading this who has not visited Sacramento for a NBA game to attend a NBA game in Sacramento. It's the professional equivalent to Hinkle Fieldhouse, but crazier.

                Thomas is a poor defender even taking his size into account, but offensively he's a dynamo. He deserved more.

                  Pretty much I get the feeling he's going to Chicago if Melo doesn't go there, and if he does his cheaper favorite is the Spurs.

                    None of which Thomas excels at, and he's still 4th.

                    Blocks and steals factor so little into PER that I don't even find it relevant to defense at all.

                    PER has been a very good indicator of offensive production. The top names are always the best producers.

                      That's what makes the move dumb. A small, scoring guard isn't the answer. So they ship out Thomas and sign...Darren Collison.

                        I would be so happy right now if we had signed Thomas. Hopefully, we can get Dragic or Bledsoe

                              Chicago can only get Pau if they do a sign and trade with the Lakers and the Lakers seem hesitant on doing that.

                                He has been following LBJ since HS I would guess he stays on LBJs beat.
