Do we have any interest in Jason Thompson anymore?

I know he overachieved in his first couple seasons, but I haven't heard as much from him lately. For a young team like Sacramento, it's weird to see someone so young not be in "future plans". At only 25 years old, I wouldn't mind bringing him in since it appears that the return that we would have to send is pretty low. Since Thompson is the anti-Tyrus, and we could use a banger in the paint & on the boards with Mullens, I would be curious as to what Sacramento would want. Would Diaw + be enough? With their financial situation, no way they take T2..... or would they? I think DJ would get it, but don't want to give up Augustin for someone that appears to be a bench player in Sacramento. I guess it also depends on what Thompson wants on his new contract too.

He is an average player, not a building block. I reckon there are other teams who need him more than us.

JT would be an asset for us.

Really? Sac suck, if he was an asset they would keep him

Like DJ he's due for an extension right now. I don't think it's a valid argument plowman unless you feel the same about DJ.

Depends on what he'd want. At the right price I agree he would be an asset.

I do, but i feel DJ is an asset and had much greater value than JT

JT - 17 PER, 54 TS%, 56 eFG%...all career highs.

DJ - 17.7 PER, 53 TS%, 48 eFG%...also career highs except TS%.

"Greater"? I dunno...maybe...but either way it's not valid at all to say that JT isn't an asset. There's still the issues of new contracts for both guys...but I don't see how it affects one worse than the other.

We have DJ2, and I would hope DJA can get more than Jason Thompson. No thanks.
