Jazz and Knicks discussing Donovan Mitchell trade per Shams Charania and Tony Jones

People pissed about the Beverley deal don't know the first rules of the tank. Assets are assets. Assets include: Draft picks, expiring contracts, and young players. THT fulfills the third item and turns into the second item after next season assuming a PO opt in.

Yes, Bev was an expiring, but people are seriously assuming Beverly had late first round value by himself. Value is funky in the league, but it's still a young player on a tanking roster. Guessing Utah deals Mitchell fairly soon for this one to go down.

Young players are great when you have team control over their contract, which we don't with THT. He probably has more chance of becoming a negative asset than a positive asset.

We own his Bird Rights and that is as much control as you can expect in this situation. If THT proves useful, we can sign him to a larger deal. If not, he's gone. No downside occurs to me here.

Downside is he's bad, opts in, and we miss out on whatever we could have done with his cap space (mainly take on a different bad contract for draft assets).

THT doesn't provide the on court production worth his contract, and is on a team unfriendly deal. That is a negative asset. His age gives him some potential, which probably evens it out a little.

Cap space is projected to increase by about 10m and we'll have a boatload in the '23 offseason. I promise you we aren't missing much.

Yeah, I don't see this as that big of a deal, or worth getting too upset about. I just think, as far as asset acquisition goes, this wasn't a great deal.

They are the kind of deals that became death by a thousand cuts in the DL era.

We still don’t have like any second round picks… grab one here or there now… even though its not a huge deal.
