Welcome Tim Thomas
The Mavericks signed 12 year veteran forward Tim Thomas. He averaged close to 8 points a game last year only playing 20 minutes a game. A 3 point specialist is Thomas’s skill to help bolst the Mavericks back into the 3 point game they need. He had a 41% from beyond the arc last season. He’s a career 37% three point shooter, making 946 in 806 career games.
I’d imagine Thomas can be that goto guy off the bench to help in games we are trailing to throw up some 3 pointers.
Now with the Mavericks acquiring Marion and Gooden, the idea of adding more guys like Tim Thomas to help off the bench is starting to look good for the Mavericks.
I vision our new starting lineup will consist of Kidd, Howard, Nowitzki, Marion and Dampier with Gooden backing up Dampier. Terry will continue to play the 6th man role and Little Jose will continue to backup Kidd while Kidd molds him into a better PG. Then we’ll likely have Hollins continue to be scuplted and molded and players like Tim Thomas that can come off the bench to do what’s needed to win games.
