I know you traded Kurt Thomas to the Bucks for RJ, but does he have anything left in the tank?

I was a huge fan of his when he was on the Knicks quite a few years ago. I saw a rumor that the Bucks might cut him - and I was wondering if he would eb good for a backup PF/C roll...

Thanks in advance for your input.

Kurt is old 37/38 but is a true pro and can still contribute from the bench.

I am going to miss his 1000 mile stare.

He's still got something left in the tank and I think he can still play. He's a smart player and a very good post defender, the Bucks should be able to find some use for him.

Yeah me too. He was probably checking out a hot woman in the nosebleeds.

I think Thomas is still very capable of contributing major minutes if given the chance. He just didn't mesh well with Duncan.

I don't know.. it depends on how much you're relying on him.

I think in limited minutes, he still provides strong rebounding, post defense, and mid range shooting.

I don't think he's good getting major minutes. 15-20 minutes is best for him.

Problem is, right now, he's slow but strong. He's better suited guarding Centers than PFs because most PFs are quicker than him. But if you play Kurt Thomas at Center, you better have a tall PF or else you'd have a very short team upfront.

For limited minutes, he's still a good role player.

The guy is 38 yrs old not much left in the tank. His knees must be absolute shred by now. He's no Kevin willis.

I don't think he can contribute major minutes, the guy is 38 and he does have a history of knee injuries. But I think he can give the Bucks around 10 to maybe 15 quality minutes a game off the bench.
