So lose two good players for no shot at Reaves?
How Much $$$ Should Jazz Throw at Austin Reaves?
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
I mean... if they've decided to opt out, we might lose them anyways... I guess it would depend on what indication they give to the FO when they opt out and if they have any interest in re-signing or would rather pursue contracts elsewhere... and of course it would depend on whether the FO wants to offer them new contracts at the pricepoints they are looking to get.
Maybe, I'm not 100% sold on him, to be honest. But in any case I think LAL will match whatever, so I'm thinking let Rockets do the offer sheet job.
I would be shocked if THT opted out. Nothing suggests he doesnt like it here and that new CBA puts a squeeze on the mid tier players who hit FA. They wont be able to use FA to cash in like they used to since there is much less money and competition for those guys. Lots of guys who used to hit FA will now rather ask sign and trade deals if they are not getting extension offers, which is a win-win situation for the team and the player.
Clarkson instead has already heard his name from Houston at least, so he may have an easier time getting a raise / long term deal on the markets than THT has at his price point. Also JC salary is relatively lower compared to his minutes, production and age, so he has more reasons to decline the option that way as well.
Id just rather focus on getting good players on good deals than trying to be a team that is used for leverage.

Of all the things in your arsenal to apologize and you choose this?
Lakers match that instantly but they only have 24 hours to do so.
The max we can offer is 4/98M. We would only need about 25M in cap space to do that.
Would the Lakers match that?

I'm still not sold he can function outside of the gravity of Lebron and AD. Think I'm alone there though.
