If past season becomes the norm for Thomas, this is gonna turn into a steal very soon.

I really like Thomas, so this I think will be a good deal. He is the future in StL.

Big contract for such a young player
He should be good enough to fulfill it, but there's definitely risk to it

This is an insanely risky deal given how inconsistent Thomas was prior to this season. Still, he is a great pure playmaker, and this contract will pay off if this year becomes the norm. Time will tell; he could prove me wrong (which isn't that hard to do).

suprised they didnt go for a bridge deal for 2 years...this seems a little high for 1 great year, if he maintains that fine- but they lost 2 years of a cheaper contract.

Can't vote yes or no as this could go both ways. He either continues to grow like he did this season or he goes the way of Christian Dvorak who is good but not worth his contract.

I don’t bother doing that ever anymore, the only way to tell is watch and wait

He had a good sophomore season then got derailed by injury after. Last year he got a chance at 2c and showed what he can do.

Seems a bit high AAV for his PPG, but the trend is the factor to consider. It is a fair deal

It is a lot of money for a lot of years for someone who has had one season to earn it. I like Thomas so I think it will work out but there is a lot of risk.

Some people are adorable. Get ready to see this one on all the best value contracts lists for years. Perhaps even from day one of the deal.
