Good for Thad. Hope he does well. He gave us what he had, but we honestly need more/different. They MAY have over paid, but probably not by much.

Thank you Thad for 3 wonderful years. Best of luck in red.

Agreed. What a great leader and representative for the franchise and city. Glad he got paid.

I said on the GB he probably wants the mentor role on a young team.

Maybe he found out he enjoys the Midwest during his time here?

How's Thad's athleticism these days? I remember in his younger years he was dunking on people but now he seems to be more of a crafty vet finisher. Can he still get up and throw down?

Well it looks like I won't be driving Thad to Training Camp this year!

Wish we could have kept him, as I've been saying that other than Vic he's one of the most valuable player to the team over the past two seasons

But at the same if we do keep him, it just means less minutes for Domas and a pittance of playing time for Leaf

With Leaf the only other PF on the roster now (not counting Alize), let's hope Nate finally comes around and give him more meaningful minutes

Man, wish he could've retired a Pacer.

He really represented us well and gave it his all each night. Regardless of his limitations, he got game and was all heart.

Thanks for the time, Captain Thad. You'll be missed. 8-)

More crafty. He’s not a young buck, but he’s young enough to compete with Giannis night in and out.

I wish Thad would have gone West. I’m not looking forward to playing him 4 times a year.
