i agree on this.... my frontcourt is so weak that even thompson can start for me  :D but definitely an improvement :D

I like this trade for the Heat. Upgraded their depleted frontcourt modestly without giving up much at all.

Yeah. Had no idea that Thompson is so cheap.

thompson going for nothing. Ouch.

Bailey is just about the prototypical role player & career backup you can find. No offense, good defense, bad handling. He'll probably never deserve a starting spot. I don't even talk about Geiger.

And while Thompson is nowhere a star himself, he's got tons more upside, and that in a league where decent big men are rare, especially now after half of the remaining veterans retired.

Did i say "ouch" yet ?

i think an A defender coming off the bench is a little more than nothing.  Sure he has no offensive skills but defense matters too and 2 A defenders on the wing isn't something bad to have.
