Beverley to Lakers for THT and Stanley Johnson

This trade doesn't make much sense for us. Either cap space or draft picks and we end up with neither.

They could pay good players doe. Or get assets to pay ****** ones.

I mean I guess they really like THT which is fine I guess. Would just think trader Danny would get something extra here.

Or you could buy low on a player and let your team try to develop them...

He's 6'4 with a 7'1wingspan and still 21 years old. He plays hard and has some unique aspects to his game.

Hoarding picks has diminishing return value.

We're a rebuilding team trading a 34 year old for THT and Stanley and some of you are angry we're not also getting a pick.

lmao.

THT is 21. We will be lucky to get someone as good as him with the Wolves pick next year.

This is giving me Ingles for NAW vibes.

Rudy, Royce and now Pat Beverly. We will have no defensive player next year. I see what DA is doing now

Why in the world would we need cap space right now.

Why do we need cap space? Wouldn't a young prospect with upside be just as good or better than really low pick?

 

[jom2003]

We swap a winning piece with losing pieces so we can set up the tank. Only way I can think of it.

I like this deal. THT has plenty of potential and we need salary. I think he can round into a solid guard that plays good defense and can give you 12pts, 4rbs and 4asts a game.

How soon can the jazz flipped tht or stanley?

Sure, but there's a HUGE difference between doing the Ingles for NAW trade while you're trying to win a ring and doing a PB for THT trade when you're trying to tank.

I really only hate it because of THT’s contract situation. It’s not like he’s on a team-friendly deal with multiple years left with team control. He has a player option after this season. If he sucks he’ll opt in and we’ll be paying him too much, if he’s good, he’ll opt out and probably go somewhere else.

I would have preferred a couple second rounders to one guaranteed year of a project. Feels like we should have gotten more for Pat Bev.

This feels like a DL move and not an Ainge move.
