Reggie Theus, now a 4 year vet, was drafted 6th overall by Washington during the 2048 draft despite being top 5 projected. Theus came into the league with a lot of hype, nice ratings and what looked to be a nice future ahead of him. When the commish of the league boldly states:
Surprising. Theus looks like a sick #3.
You'd better not disappoint. What has happened in those 4 seasons is something we may not see ahead. Those that were in NBN with me know what's coming up now. Let's follow the path of Reggie Theus thus far:
Reggie, amazingly enough, did spend his first whole season in Washington. Starting for the Wizards, he averaged 11 ppg, 4.3 rpg and 2.9 apg with 2.1 tpg. His shooting percentages were a bit disapointing and it looked like it would've been a bit tough for him to improved the areas he was really weak in. That said, for whatever reason, the Wizards then decided it was time to go for it so they paired up Bingo and Mengelt. Mengo as they called it. Anyways, off to Mil goes Reggie:

One day later, Reggie is taking his talents to BK in a deal with ML Carr. A deal in which MRR will always be thankful for by the way. This deal became a big catalyst for the Bucks current roll as well but that's another article.

Reggie spends the next two seasons in BK where, while his scoring improved, he really showed no other important or great dynamic past that. During the 2051 off season, he gets sent to Miami in a deal which lands the Nets Larry Kenon. The Heat also landed two very interesting pieces in the Pacers 53 and Rockets 55 picks.

One day later, Reggie returns to Mil in a deal that might have saved HF and the Heat franchise overall. The Heat move some solid talent but get plenty of draft picks of theirs.

After barley playing for the Bucks, 3 days later, he gets sent to the Denver in a rather confusing deal for the Nuggets overall. Michael Cooper was the big return for the Bucks in this deal. Cooper, ironically enough, was also once labeled as a disappointment before blowing up last TC.

As if life wasn't confusing enough for Reggie, 4 days later, he makes his 3rd trip back to Mil in a deal that was correctly described by repole:
I honestly still have no idea to describe the last 2 Bucks/Nuggets trades. I guess fuckery is the right word for that.

The Bucks, being the bastards that they are, once again traded him away, This time to the bright lights of New York for shot blocker Caldwell Jones, through the countless trading of Theus, have built a rather nice team.

To those that need help, Theus has been a part of 6 times and the Bucks alone 3 times. What's most interesting about this is that Theus has only been in the league 4 seasons and could very well enter FA. Could a 7th team be on the horizon for Theus? Reggie's overall value might be one of the more interesting things to do look right now. Sure, we can look at his numbers from last season and see what he did but for this season, he's only played 37 games at 5.7 mpg. Reggie might not be a star but he cannot be this worthless can he? I look forward to seeing Reggie having a solid home after FA to prove his naysayers wrong.
