2017 NBA Manifesto

Thabo Sefolosha
SF, 6’7, 220lbs, 33 years old, 11 years of experience
Sefolosha lost his job to Taurean Prince, which is a very good illustrating of the youth-supplanting-veteran evolution that the fourth oldest team in the league needs more of. However, Sefolosha is now to be an unrestricted free agent, so the opportunity to get some value is gone. For cheap, he would be a solid candidate to bring back behind Prince and to assist Bembry, and if there is any value to be found in a sign-and-trade deal - which seems unlikely - it should be taken. Thabo can still play defence and pick up a few points on the way. But for that reason, he is probably going to find a contender somewhere. (And probably should have been dealt to one at the deadline.)

Player Plan: Expiring $3.85 million contract. The time for value has passed and it is probably just best now to let him walk.

Chicago's Meticulously Crafted 2011 Offseason Plan That Relies An Awful Lot Upon Guesswork

You know how, when evaluating draft talent, we highlight people's flaws and say that this is why they will never make it in the NBA? The starting shooting guards in the conference finals were Keith Bogans, Thabo Sefolosha, DeShawn Stevenson......and Dwyane Wade. Of the final eight starting guards in the season, three were contractually obligated to never take a dribble. Four if you count Mike Bibby. Makes you reconsider to what extent that analysis should really stretch; after all, if a head coach likes you enough, it doesn't matter how flawed you are. Of course, this inability to dribble also rather submarined Chicago's campaign, as will now be explained.
