For Middleton's part that's a move that could extend his career 1-2 more years and get him out of pressure coming back earlier when injured. He still doesn't lose his high minutes when healthy and of course still closes games.
Lillard (36)/Green (12)
Thomas (28)/Trent (16)/Green (4)
Jackson (16)/Middleton (32)
Giannis (36)/Bobby (12)
Lopez (32)/Bobby (16)
That's what I am thinking in terms of minutes distribution, which is what Doc already does with Thomas (or someone else in the same age) taking Prince's minutes. You then have Lillard/Middleton/Giannis closing the games at all times with whoever of the rest fits better for the situation.
If Thomas could be had for that little then I hope Horst would pull the trigger. I would not start Thomas with Dame though. He would come off the bench and he would likely make Portis expendable. If you're trading for Thomas you are trading for a guy who needs the ball in his hands and you would not want Portis taking touches from him.
