Beverley to Lakers for THT and Stanley Johnson

biggest problem with any optimism surrounding THT is that he hasn't gotten better in 3 years in the nba. he's literally coming off his worst season in the league this past year. when you enter the league at age 19, you should get better from 19 to 22. that hasn't happened - if anything he's regressed. that's a really bad sign.

That Laker team was a **** show in every way possible. Let's see what harmony in False God's Country brings.

And he played last year with Russel Westbrook....that will mess up most folks productivity. Not that his first two years were too promising.

That entire team had issues. And young guys playing with LBJ isn’t easy, and his style won’t mesh with James at all, plus that wasn’t a great three point shooting team all together. Utah will be a better fit for him. Question is how long it takes to progress?

Hopefully just long enough to flip him for a decent asset later.
 
Finished the game vs the warriors on march 5th won the game THT played 17 uneventful minutes. It’s easy to see why he struggled. Lakers retooled adding westbrick and crymelo. He no longer fit what this team wanted to do. Seemed he didn’t have a real role being lost between LBJ westbrick and Carmelo. In this game he was 0-3 with two points from the ft line a rebound and two assists. He looks like he struggles to stay in front of quicker guards. Interested to see what he does on a young jazz team. With almost no established stars. Could be exactly what he needs.
 
I don’t think he’s a long term guy. IMO, he’s the Jazz version of Semi Ojeleye. A fringe athlete that can’t shoot distance at the NBA level. I’m fine with getting him, but I feel like there should’ve been better options for trading away Pat Beverley who seemed to have been in some demand.

I do like that DA is loading up on wing sized players. They aren’t high quality wings yet. . . but it’s about damn time.

Since the end of the season, they’ve traded away Royce O’Neale but added Vando, Bolmaro, Fontecchio, Beasley (ish), THT and Stanley Johnson.

Where is Carmelo playing this year? Has he signed anywhere?
