J Thompson
Nets fan here - Was curious what the thoughts on are on JT from Kings fans. I havent really seen him play much and I know he got hurt and is back playing now but he is he part of your future? Is he available? Why hasnt he improved much on last year's numbers??

Must be true, if it's a rumor you read on Hoopshype.

all kidding aside, we all know Lopez isnt available, I was curious what your thoughts on JT were. For what its worth, we dont have any bad contracts.

Re: J Thompson
JT has tons of potential to be a very good player. He's athletic and skilled enough to do very well in this league but the issue is he doesn't always bring his brain to the court with him. He makes a lot of ticky tacky fouls and then pisses off the refs by complaining to excess about it. Basically until he can stop fouling and complaining so much he's going to be a bench player but if he ever gets that under control and can stay on the court consistently for extended minutes he will be a very nice player.
He has great passing skills, would be a solid defender if he didn't foul so often, has good tough around the rim, plays with lots of energy, is a fantastic offensive rebounder.
He may be available this summer but it's still very undecided. It will all depend on what happens in the draft.

No. But Trading for lopez is not the answer, Our defense is still going to be pretty weak, And the offense is not going to be strong enough to overcome that.

Jason Thompson is another one of those players who "has all the tools." He rebounds his position well, but he has no offensive game other than a jumper which he's thankfully been making. His defense isn't noteworthy.
But anyway there's lots of hope for him because he can already rebound.
