But I can't forgive Teague and TT signings forcing us to do this **** move. Theis is a fantastic Center and lead us to a top 5 defense with Tatum in the front court, and an amazing team player.
I wish we paid the late first rounder (mostly useless in Ainge's hand anyways and our team is young enough as is) to get rid of TT instead of Theis. Theis is so much more versatile and useful as a player in every way than TT and I truly think could be apart of our core with great synergy with Tatum.
I think we overrated Theis a bit. At the end of the day, Theis trade value was a bench big from the Wiz. I think he'll get $7mm per this summer. Theis is nice but he peaked last year and still his limitations really showed in the playoffs.
We can wish him well and appreciate his contribution without going overboard with praise and overrating. Completely agree that he's better than TT but I have serious questions about Theis accepting a bench role behind Rob after starting for two years
