However to say we're over valuing NVE that same philosophy can be used when talking about Thomas, I think you're overrating him.

Putting aside Van Exel's shooting percentage, his other numbers are NOT that bad for his ENTIRE CAREER.. Yes he's not the greatest defensive player, but neither is Thomas. Ward is a better defender but as I said you lose something. Ward can't distribute the ball as well as Van Exel and he SURELY can't score like Van Exel can. However like I said the other day, I'll sacrafice points to get rebounding which is really what you're doing if you do this trade and at the same time you still have a servicable backup.
