Beverley to Lakers for THT and Stanley Johnson

Indiana was the other team rumored to be interested in trading for him. Haliburton could probably push his influence and get them to sign THT.

That would be interesting, that fit doesn’t seem great

If the Jazz can “get” him to stay, they will work with him as he opts-out and re-signs at a higher number. Wouldn’t make sense for him to opt-in and extend as that would handcuff the size of the extension.

Anyone else have “THT opts out and the Jazz use actual cap space to retain him” on their bingo card for this unbelievably weird season?

I mean I suspect that was the hope when the Jazz traded for him. . .

I would be fine with THT to tying up some of the Pacers cap space and being a clunky fit.

I still have real questions about his fit on a good team and the Pacers have a chance to be terrifying if they nail more moves. I’m a huge believer in Hali, but they also have cap space and draft positioning.

Pretty rough night for THT against the Kings. Had a few silly TOs and too many of his patented crazy drives with missed circus shots. Some good things too, for sure, but definitely outplayed by Dunn in this one.
