The only true measure of the Thomas trade (as with any trade) is whether we would do it again, knowing what we know now.
His on field leadership may be crap, or it may be better than anyone in the comp - no one knows for sure. Perhaps it's laudable to try and salvage something from what has been a bad trade.
And I would also add that judging by our performances since 2014, his on field directions are either not very good, or else they're going unheeded.
Even not knowing what we know now, the answer is simple, No. SOS and co. wouldn't do that deal even if they were high on crack.
