Trade Confirmed: Jazz get jack for Bogey

it could be Duncan too.

Shamet's deal has more upside than THT... if he starts hitting threes at a 40%+ clip and shows a little more on-ball then you have two additional guaranteed years you can decide. THT either sucks (most likely) and signs up for another year of sucking... or he plays well and bails or gets a raise.

Yeah, I completely disagree.

I think Kleber got extended recently.

Didn’t see that, thanks. Looks like they did about two weeks ago but the trade machine hasn’t updated it.

The problem with that is they have to guarantee him before free agency so if they have a deal lined up sure I guess. This is a trash deal anyway you spin it. Only purpose was to save money.

And DA really likes him.

Also it makes the Pistons more likely to win more games than us, or at least more likely than they were prior to the trade.

We may be able to get him to push the date back... it happens frequently. But I bet I can predict how this plays out.

We make all this noise about being FA players... then we say we tried but it didn't work out... but at least we got KO that we can keep around. We operate at the salary floor so Ryan saves some dough... all of Jazzfanz will live in denial that we make money moves. Its kinda the first few years of DL playbook type of thing.

Looks like a purely cost-cutting move.

Ladies and gentlemen, the downsides of an outside hire.

Yeah, I completely disagree.

Well its a fact homie... if THT opts in to his deal next year its because he proved he isn't worth 10M a year... if we exercise Shamet's option its because he outplayed his annual figure. If you think THT has more overall potential than Shamet that is cool... but realize him showing that potential means he getting paid or walking... which puts a big *** cap on his "upside".

Pure head scratcher. Dumb move imho. Inconsistent with the rest of the moves. Super confused. Hoping for further explanation on this one.

This is very much the Daryl Morey getting the Rockets back together type of thing. Mingled in with some Ryan saving money ****.

I'm really confused as to why THT playing so well that he becomes worth more than his current contract is a bad thing.

We could lose him, or we could be the team that gets to keep him. I'll take that over having an overpaid 3pt specialist.

Andy is the hero we need but don't deserve.

KO and NAW were teammates on the Canadian National Team this summer. DA is teambuilding.
