Luc Richard Mbah a Moute’s transition into a three-point shooter began when he landed in Philadelphia to help mentor Joel Embiid (who now has full working knowledge of the female anatomy courtesy of Luc’s veteran wisdom), but this year is finally the year he broke through and became a true three-point threat both in percentage and volume. Of course, it happened while he was on the Rockets. What other team takes any random role-player and turns them into three-point sharpshooters?
I would have never predicted this career trajectory for Mbah a Moute. His first five years in the league, all with the Bucks, he shot a total of twenty three-pointers. He had two seasons where he didn’t even make one. And now he’s out there shooting four of them per 36 minutes, which doesn’t seem like an obscene number until you remember who we’re talking about here.
Since Mbah a Moute is, in my opinion, a Bucks legend, it’s only right that he should go back there to finish up a career which might have anywhere from one to five more seasons left in it. I propose a trade of one (1) Thon Maker (who can shoot threes so he’s a perfect fit in Houston) for one (1) Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. Don’t even talk to me about the trade deadline. I don’t care about the trade deadline.
