The THT hate is so wild to me
How Much $$$ Should Jazz Throw at Austin Reaves?
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
I kind of keep forgetting about him, as if he's already gone. I don't currently see him as a winning player, although I think he is closer to a neutral player than I had previously thought going in to the season last year. I do think there is a decent chance he has a great off season and surprises me next year.
The thing that keeps sticking with me is that it felt like he was having a great second half to the year, but then you look at his stats and they were basically his career averages. I think he's just so up and down that they cancel each other out.

LeGM isn't a great GM - partly because he has favorites. reaves is one of his ATF teammates, so there is no doubt he will sacrifice other areas to keep reaves around.

the point is, another player won't suffice in lebron's eyes. reaves is his dude. gonna have to trust me on this, reaves is a laker next season.
He's still our best perimeter defender at the guard position for bigger guards/wings and our best passer. He has the highest upside on the roster at the PG position (barring what Keyonte can show this year).
It's just super strange to me people actually want him to opt out.
If Sexton turned the ball over as much and shot as bad as THT did you would be talking so much ****.
Gifted? Dear lord we got a high potential 22 year old. Stop the THT hate
I'm just not a believer and so for me the question would be what could we do this year with the extra cap space from THT opting out vs how likely is THT going to improve this summer.
I would definitely like to see what THT can do next year, but if it means not being able to do something I like more, then I kind of get people not wanting him to opt in.

Can we front load to make if more difficult for Lakers to match? Not sure if you can still do that or not. How we lost Wesley Matthews back in the day.
