THT Turning The Corner?

[Eddie Zero]

I guess we found our Lance Stevenson flash in the pan lol. THT just had the game of his life. The odds he ever does that again in an NBA court vs at the city courts are about the same odds as us winining the lottery from the 15th spot smh.
I do think THT has proven himself over the past 5 games to be worth holding on to,and have even said as much, and that performance solidifies it. But he is still less likely to contribute to winning against better teams and more in line with what we had seen from him most of the season.
I for one would be on the phone with CHA seeing what they will give up for him on draft week . I would do a THT opt in, with our late first ( before yesterdays game I would have felt the Wolves pick was needed)
for Kai Jones team opt in- and one of CHA 5 2023 2nd rounders I am guessing the one in the high 40's is about right.
Jones would fit well between the Finnisher and Walker and is primed for break out.

You have to be kidding me. You want to trade THT and a 1st for Kai Jones.

yep I do. I think past the game I just watched unlike some of you.
THT just proved why he is a monster if nobody is defending him and nobody else on his team is hitting shots where the coach gives him the full green.
He is exactly the kind of guy you put your money on for a lottery team to entertain the tank crowd and the first one you trade when you have a chance to get a team player
that will cost less and help you win more long term.
Kai Jones is defnitely still raw as ****, but the ceiling is elite defender.
I will take my chances on Kai Jones over somebody else we might draft at 26 and not having to overpay to retain THT anyday

Imagine THT throwing lobs to Wemby...

 

[Eddie Zero]

But keep on thinking you got it all figured out smh

You're thinking wayyyyyyyy past the game into a whole different sport if you think trading THT and a first for Kai Jones is a good move.

It is a good move if Kai Jones is on this roster long term and THT opts out and plays for someone else anyway smh.
Besides Jones is showing flashes of having been a slept on, and is imo similar upside mobile "anywhere defender" Like Barnes or Mobley both taken high lottery

Imagine THT throwing lobs to Wemby...

imagine THT doing this to end the season with us sitting 15th with no shot at Wemby smh- (then opting out and playing for CHA next season to rub your face in it)

Imagine THT throwing lobs to Wemby...

Imagine THT putting up full-court tunnel shots and knocking out ball boys.

Yeah because it is only one game. You are just as bad with THT as Tremendous Upside is with Dunn. I have no problem with you liking Kai Jones but his current value isn't a 1st rd pick let alone a 1st and solid young player.

Maybe it is you who are incapable of seeing the point here is THT is gone and so getting him to opt in and go elsewhere by giving up a late 20's pick is the definition of value and is buying low on Kai Jones when that pick at 24-27 wont net you anyone with that upside. CHA also has to give us a 2nd in my thinking since thay have 5 total picks and 3 2nds.

Did THT turn a corner, No. This is who he is, he's scored 40 before and 30+ in preseason games and multiple in season games in the high 20s. These are the flashes he shows that keeps a team holding onto his potential. Glad he had a good game and we got the win. Charlotte's defense was soo bad I couldn't really evaluate his game.
