On April 9, Beijing time, Shams reported that the Suns would sign Thomas Jr. until the end of the season, which made fans hotly discussed.
The Suns' move is aimed at bolstering the depth of the backcourt while relying on Thomas Jr.'s leadership to take the team to the next level.
Gerald Bourguet expressed his opinion on Thomas Jr.'s official signing in his comments, which he believes means the Suns' playoff roster has been finalized.
The news left fans mixed feelings, as at the same time, some players, such as Sabine Lee, Wayne Wright and Azubuuk, lost their chance to make the playoffs.
In the minds of fans, the arrival of Thomas Jr. was not entirely unexpected.
He had signed two short contracts before, and while he didn't get much playing time during that time, his performances were impressive.
Perhaps it was because of his tireless efforts and contributions to the team that the Suns finally decided to sign him. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow for those players who have lost their playoff opportunities.
For Thomas Jr., the news may have been something he had been waiting for for a long time. As a player who once dominated the league, the desire to return to the NBA has always burned in his heart.
Despite the many setbacks he has experienced on the court, he has never given up and has always worked hard. Therefore, when he learned that he was officially signed by the Suns, his heart must have been filled with joy and excitement.
Thomas Jr. is also well aware that this contract will not be easy to get. He needs to prove his worth by taking action and earn the trust of his coach and teammates.
For him, it may be a new beginning, an opportunity to prove himself again. The Suns' decision has also made fans look forward to the playoffs ahead.
Although Thomas Jr. has played limited minutes before, his addition will undoubtedly bring new changes to the team.
Fans are looking forward to seeing him perform in the playoffs and expect him to bring more surprises and victories to the team.
However, it is undoubtedly a painful moment for those players who have lost their playoff chances. They put in the same effort but failed to get a chance to make the playoffs.
They are full of loss and frustration right now, but they may choose to accept that fact and continue to work hard to get ready for next season.
Thomas Jr.'s performance has raised questions from some fans and the media. They believe that the Suns are offering him a new contract instead of promoting a young player on a two-way contract.
But the arrival of Thomas Jr. has proven to be a positive change for the team, and since his arrival, the Suns' recent record has climbed all the way up to a 7-3 record.
Suns head coach Vogel explained fans' doubts about Thomas Jr.'s signing.
He said in an interview that Thomas Jr. is positioned as an alternate and injury insurance player in the team and will only get more minutes if the squad is healthy.
Thomas Jr. himself said in another interview that no matter what, he will obey the coach's arrangement and do his best to bring positive impact to the team.
The news sparked a wave of buzz on social media. One fan tweeted: "Why did the Suns sign Thomas Jr.?
This opinion immediately sparked discussion among other fans. Some supported the fan's view that the Suns should give more opportunities to young players.
Others disagree, arguing that Thomas Jr.'s experience and leadership are indispensable to the team.
Another fan wrote on the fan forum: "I think it was a wise decision for the Suns to sign Thomas Jr. Although his previous performances were not great, his experience and leadership were very important for the team. ”
The remarks struck a chord with many fans, who expressed their support for the Suns' decision and looked forward to Thomas Jr.'s role on the team.
Vogel's explanation also caused dissatisfaction among some fans.
One fan commented on the team's official forum: "The Suns have a healthy roster, why give playing time to Thomas Jr.? I think coaches should trust young players more." ”
This point of view immediately caused a heated discussion among other fans, who expressed their opinions and had different opinions on Thomas Jr.'s positioning and the team's strategy.
There are also some fans who express understanding and support for Thomas Jr.'s attitude.
One fan wrote on social media: "Thomas Jr. is an experienced player and his leadership is very important for the team. I believe he will have a positive impact on the team. ”
This remark was liked and retweeted by many fans, who all hoped that Thomas Jr. could play an important role in the team. Thomas, as a scorer, is very cunning indeed.
He has a keen sense of basketball and can always find holes in defense to score.
One fan commented on the fan forum: "Thomas' scoring ability is really what the Suns need. His performances in the attacking end of the pitch are always eye-catching and he can contribute valuable points to the team. ”
And Thomas's fantastic athleticism is also well known.
He has excellent jumping ability and agile body mobility, often being able to trick defenders with feints while on the move, and quickly break into the box to score spectacular goals.
One fan wrote on social media: "Thomas' dribbling skills and flexibility are truly amazing. His ability to break through often disrupts opposition defences and create good chances for his team. ”
Despite Thomas's scoring prowess and athletic talent, his short stature is a problem that cannot be ignored.
As a point guard, he often encounters constraints from tall opponents in the NBA. One fan shouted from the sidelines: "Thomas is too short to stop the opponent's attack!"
Thomas sometimes makes mistakes in the game, especially when it comes to passing. He would sometimes opt for fancy passes, but it turned into a mistake and caused damage to the team.
One fan wrote in a post-match comment: "Thomas's passing is a bit risky, sometimes choosing to over-hold the ball and dribbling, and finally choosing to attack on his own, which is sometimes disappointing." ”
Thomas Jr.'s return has also been endorsed by league superstar Durant, who believes that Thomas Jr.'s story and career are enough to inspire basketball players around the world.
This is the second time Thomas Jr. has played for the Suns in his career, and it has been nine years since the last time.
In the future, Thomas Jr. will continue to contribute to the Suns and contribute to the journey of the playoffs. We look forward to him continuing to put in a great performance on the field and bring more victories to the team.
May Thomas Jr. continue to shine with the Suns and bring more surprises and victories to the team, and I wish him all the best in his career!
