The poll is a simple question of who you prefer between the two. We've seen numerous posts about how we should be looking to move Theis since he isn't playing as well this season and because of his pending FA status. But, he is also making half as much as Thompson - does anybody think Theis will actually make more than $10M/yr next season?
After the Indy deal fell through (don't even get me started on that), I was fully in favor of the Thompson signing - he seemed to be everything we needed as a strong, mobile big man, who could defend and rebound. Unfortunately, he hasn't come quite as advertised - especially defensively - and he adds absolutely nothing in terms of offense. He's like the anti-Kanter - only Kanter was at least a huge body on defense. Funny enough, would we rather have Kanter?
If I were Danny, I would be calling around the league gauging interest in Thompson. His inclusion alone in a deal would allow us to use almost the entire TPE while staying under the tax this season. And if you want to pick up a 3rd string C for the minimum, we can still do that. I like Thompson and I love his effort, but I think I'd rather see more TL and Theis - now and in the future.
