Seems like since his knee issue resurfaced he's shooting less and less (four consecutive games of single digits FGs). He's also been getting less minutes (which are going to Sabonis). Who's concerned? I had to drop him to pick up Fournier but really want to bring Thad back to the squad...so conflicted (end of roster guys are Saric, Collins). Dropping Thad and picking up Fournier? 8 league? That being said, I'm a Thad owner. It'll be rough for a little bit but he'll get it together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Fournier dropper has made boneheaded moves all year, dropping solid contributors and picking up weird players like Trevor Booker. Sad thing is his super flyer adds also lucked him into Mitchell and Tyreke LOL. That being said, as a Thad owner I understand you may be biased, but who would you rather have ROS between Thad/Saric/Fournier/Murray? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saric has been on fire over the past month but there are other players who keep going in and out in Philly. Still I feel steals are so rare. Thad is 6th best in steals among Small Forwards, and 4th best in steals among Power Forwards. That's something you really can't ignore. I feel the other guys, while great, mostly offer offensive stats. Scoring comes in bunches when someone gets hurt in any league but it's hard to find pilfers. Up until this point, Thad has been rank 55 for this long and hopefully things get better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The thing is I lead the league in steals by a pretty comfortable margin and recently traded Warren+Brown to get Harris so I'm all set (PG/Dipo/GHarris) even without Young. I've tried countless 2 for 1s to get value but no one bites in my league. Since stashing Lavine hasn't paid off for those 3s yet, I decided to drop Thad and now even Saric to take a flyer on Fournier and Murray. Hopefully I'll can nab them back if this experiment doesn't work out (Murray and Young both play back to back games starting today so I'll monitor closely). Thanks for your input tho, appreciated!

rando 451 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Terrible development for Thad recently. We need him to bounce back pronto. It's hard to trade a top-50 glue guy playing well, almost impossible when he has been ice cold for nearly two weeks. Fruit cake is all I can trade him for right now. Will certainly be floating offers if he heats up soon. Edited December 27, 2017 by rando Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DemOrioles 517 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 This guy has to be droppable now. Like this is just bad. Doubt you could even trade him at this point unless someone is literally begging for steals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DemOrioles 517 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 No way Oladipo changes this much suckage from Thad. The dude belongs on the waiver wire in every format. He's flat out BAD. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheGreatUnwashed 268 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Anyone actually watching the games? How does one go from 2 months of 3rd round value to straight dumpster fire? Is it the knee? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chickenmane 42 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Are you guys dropping if he gets removed from the starting lineup? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rt00dt00 17 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I just dropped him, he has been good for me but I don’t think his ROS value will be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Panic 67 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 i dropped him for chriss at the start of the week. a player that gets 30 min and doesn't produce for weeks. useless to me. i hope he does turn things around tho i like Thad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmoney23 514 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Don’t think you can drop him unless it’s a really shallow league...still elite steals, solid FG%, and decent boards. If Dipo comes back and Thad is bad for a few games, then I would consider it, but I guarantee he’d be better than anything on the current WW in most 12+ team leagues. I am actually trying to buy low on him currently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mbroo5880i 915 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 ^^^ This. The Pacers don't run set plays for Thad. He gets involved based on rebounding, defense and in transition. While he was struggling before Victor missed games, he hasn't been able to get back into a groove because the Pacers offense has been horrible without Victor. Much like Myles, he benefits from the spacing and ball movement that is present with Victor on the floor. The Pacers guards - Collison, Lance and Joseph - are not really good in the half court offense. They tend to take long-range jump shots early in the clock or pound the ball until they have to take a quick shot to beat the shot clock. They rarely look at Thad or Myles. Domas seems to thrive in this chaos by crashing the boards for everything. However, he is starting to get pretty nicked up. Eventually, he will feel the wear on his body. I believe the offense will improve overall once Victor comes back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DemOrioles 517 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) 11 Pts and 6 rebs with 4 TO’s? No steals, assists, or blocks. Yeah what a monster. Not impressed. Edited January 9, 2018 by DemOrioles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
