Was reading elsewhere that THT was likely an opt-in, but not sure where. Wouldn't mind if he did.

Couple things here... this is surprising. May mean he didn't have a market at that number. It could also be part of a trade to get him to a team without cap space... this is the bush I was beating with JC is that the market does not look real frothy so players may need to play nice with teams to get what they want. This is more applicable to JC than THT imo.
At this point he could extend off his current number with Toronto. He could also be moved to another team and extend there. I would guess he did his homework in pre-agency and he does one of those two things. I also would not be surprised to see JC do the same things. I think THT is a no brainer opt in unless he has like 2/20 or 3/30 on the table (and let's be honest... a lot of these guys already know what is on the table) in a place he REALLY likes more than Utah.
Quick PSA.... The reason to do an opt in and trade is to get to a team without cap space and not hard cap that team.... once you accept a player that is signed and traded you are hard capped.

Indiana supposedly liked THT... maybe he opts in and we do 9/THT for Theis/7?
I've seen both. It's 50/50 from what I've read, but I expect him to stay

Not sure if it has been reported or mentioned... but Trent can now be traded on draft night. Could be some Portland smoke... maybe OG/Trent/13 for Simons/Nurk/3... just a stray thought.
I honestly think that and that they're not the only ones. A lot of stuff we talk about that is original and intricate enough to have a type of signature gets picked up and circulated.
I wouldn't trade THT to move up two spots. Tell them they can have Sexton. Play it hardline

I think the org views Sexton as more of a long term piece than THT personally.
I think they'd rather get off Sexton's money (for the right deal, no hurry)and see what THT does this season.
Sexton might be better, but THT has massive upside and Utah is in a positional size/upside game right now
What the hell lmao. Sexton is WAY better than THT.
Danny Ainge purposefully traded for THT.
Danny took Sexton because he was attached to picks.

I have been thinking about this opt-in and trade possibility with Indiana for a while. Exactly something like the above or something like just a clean THT for 29 trade.

I think the Trent Jr. news means that FVV is definitely gone. Unless they let Poeltl walk for nothing... which maybe that does happen but they seemed to really want him for a while.
I wouldn't trade either of them, or a future pick (unless we add some funky protections) for 2 spots.
I actually think Sexton was the initial main player target out of the trade than Lauri.
I don't think either were. They wanted picks and those were the available players they could take
If we wanted just picks we would have taken New York’s offer that didn’t include Barrett or Quickley. Especially since it’s the Knicks and not Cleveland where they already had Garland/Mobley/Allen.
New York was offering ****** picks with protections
The THT disrespect is insane to me. Dripping with potential and is Danny's guy.
