The Down Payment was to the Jazz

I actually felt bad for him when he threw the last pass away… I wanted to lose but it was hard for him to make that mistake after he had played so well. This season man… can’t lose but also can’t win.

I cackled several times last night and several of them were THT related. All of them were good cackles.

Yeah, it looked like THT was actually thinking on that last play. All his good plays just seem to kind of just magically appear. THT one of the few players who makes plays before I can see them on TV. Like usually I'm like Ok , player X is open here pass it. THT plays are just like spin spin spin oh **** he just threw an alley oop, but I had no idea that player was there because I was too focused on the spinning.
 
It is so great to see THT thrive with these consistent minutes. I was really hoping we would see he and NAW get the benefit of these minutes but 1 is better than none. The question now is if he keeps playing at this level does he opt out and what would you pay to bring him back? It may actually be in our best interest to having him opt out and we can lock him up on a 4 year contract.

He's not going to opt out. Who's going to give him a long term contract over 10 million per year? I could see him possibly agreeing to an extension that would set him up to be a free agent when the cap starts rising if he feels comfortable with his spot on the Jazz.

Right now he's playing well, but it's still more cute/fun than it is real. He has to become a better finisher and a better set shooter to really be worth a long term deal worth any kind of money over the minimum. And that's isn't going to happen in season.

Look we need to institute a two spin rule with THT… one spin means nothing… two spins means **** is about to happen… it will be spectacular and you will cackle… but it might be good or bad.

If he continues to play well I could see an opt out… he will know at that point what would be on the table. I could also see him getting like a one year extension. The good news is I don’t think he’s a negative contract… so I think he’s movable… if we need/want to.

Yep. If he keeps playing at this level I think there is a very good chance that he opts out. The good news is there aren't a lot of teams with capspace and a few of the teams already have a bunch of young guards. The 2 teams that I think could go after him are the pacers and rockets. I think his college buddy Hali would have some interest in playing with him and they would be a really good defensive backcourt. The rockets will have a ton of capspace that they need to put to work and they need to add defense and playmaking.

I don't see him as a flight risk... I think we'd have every opportunity to keep him if he continues to play this well. I am guessing he'd prefer somewhere he is more established. If he walks I'm cool with the additional space. He will get like 10-15 games of starter minutes here to prove himself with Collin out and NAW/Mike traded.

I'm becoming more of a believer... which says something about his play as I invented down payment theory. I just hope we don't go with a super long term contract with him. He needs to come into camp in the best shape of his life. Part of his slow start is he came in fat. He looks much more in shape now and you are seeing the "pop" it gives his game.

One of my few correct predictions of the season might be that you become a THT fan
