From Valancia. SG. Danny Greens replacement.
Which means Kawhi’s resigning.

I would think that is a sign that Kawhi is not resigning. I think Danny Green goes where ever Kawhi goes.

  Green said his goal is to resign with Toronto on his podcast. Only the Clippers can afford both. If Kawhi signs to Lakers Green resigns with Toronto, if Kawhi resigns with Toronto Green finds himself some money. Green would sign with Toronto ahead of the Clippers.
  Means Kawhi is staying.

i had to google him but looks like a crack sharp shooter who cam e cheap
shot over 40% from 3 in college then Thomas made 48.5 percent of his 3-point attempts in his two seasons with Obradoiro CAB and Valencia.
3 years for only $4.2 mill is cheap, not sure if he will even last 1 season though ?

  With or without Kawhi his role as CJ Miles replacement is gonna be pretty easy to play. All he has to do is shoot open jump shots. I saw a stat on hoopshype that said he made 99% of his open jumpshots, oretty ridiculous not sure if I believe that I’ll dig it up though.
  Powell starts, Van Vleet is first off the bench 6th man for dual PG like in the playoffs, OG comes back and Thomas adds depth.

    Synergy Sports Tech: Matt Thomas was arguably the top jump shooter outside of the NBA last season posting an eFG% of 82% on catch and shoot jump shots including 99% when left unguarded.

      Sounds like the claim "kills 99.9% of all germs"
      Where do they pull these stats from ?
      Matt Thomas shot 51% on only 8FGA in 29 games

        I agree. They probably pulled that stat from something really farfethced like in the last 3 road games played against non spanish teams in euroccup play he shot 99% on open 3’s and then it found its way on hoopshype in a cut up inaccurate form.

i think it’s bs for the site to post links to pay sites regarding articles. it piques your interest, and then you gotta play to pay.

He played on laker summer team two years ago and he shot lights out in helping lead Lakers to summer league title. Was really surprised Lakers didn’t keep him. I googled him once after that to see what he was up to in Europe and saw he was balling. Dudes a legit shooter all day

Played him in AAU back in high school. He gave us absolute buckets from everywhere. A little bit disappointed with his career at Iowa State. But good size and a 40%+ three points shooter. Always room for guys like that in the league.
