Yeah I'd trade Dion for Hibbert for sure. Wonder how much more Indiana would demand.
I know Dion can play...but TT is pretty bad.You think Roy Hibbert is what we need? A plodding center who demands the ball in the post and cries about touches even though he shoots putrid %s for a big?
I don't think so.
Furthermore, I don't think TT and Dion are real problems to this team. We know they can both play, they aren't this bad. I blame coaching (Blatt) and just unfamiliarity with the new system, team, etc.

Yeah, we should blame Blatt for Dion throwing bad shots like he always does...

It's always coaching. Never Dion's fault.
Neither Thompson nor Dion have shown any improvement from last year. Dion's shot selection isn't a new thing. It's been a weakness his first two years and he hasn't seem to have improved in that area at all. Thompson still has zero touch around the rim and doesn't block many shots. If there were SOME growth in either guy I'd be a little more hesitant to shop them. But with Thompson getting paid this coming summer and Dion after that I think I'm ok with it.
