Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

No THT as he has been passed by NAW on the depth chart. I really wish we would have just cut Beverly or told him to stay home until we find a trade for him. I realize he has been trash but taking on $11M next year for THT looks like a waste of cap space... Lakers have second round picks they could have used to sweeten the deal.

I think THT will be a contributor again. I still like his potential.

I also think people here overestimate Beverley's market value at the time we traded him.

I'd rather have waived Bev or sent him home than take the trade we did. Even if his trade value was zero that is still better than what THT's is and will be.

I'm cool with projects... but not when they eat into our cap space for next year and currently haven't shown any improvement and are being outplayed by other projects.

THT is still a solid project for us. Unfortunately we have a massive minutes crunch right now and NAW has been playing great over the last few weeks.

Oh no, they eat into our cap space, now how will we ever be able to sign a superstar in free agency?

I was looking more at using that expiring deal to take on a bad contract from another team and adding an actual asset. Having 25M or so in space could actually help us sign a useful player.... and yes... it does happen. But carry on with the cap space doesn't matter unless you sign an all-star route you want to go on and ignore all the different and better uses there could be for than asset.

THT doesn't prevent them from doing this, lol.

Ehhhhh... if you can't get time when the starting point guard is out because another project steals your spot in the rotation.... that's not a real great project.

Again, cool with a project... but it should have some upside and not have a 2/21M contract.

Prevent... no... complicate ... yes. We don't have cap space next year unless JC opts out, we decline the option on Beasley, and we waive Mike. THT being gone would make that dance easier. Say we don't want to be a cap space team anyway and we keep all those guys... We gonna use the MLE and bump up against the tax? Sorry... I'd rather have the cap flexibility one way or another and THT's deal makes that much harder.

But yeah lol.
 
No trade rumor or anything... but Hornets suck ***... thinking about front court fits with Kessler and Lauri (those are the current surefire long-term building blocks imo) and Jalen McDaniels and PJ Washington are both sitting there wasting away in Charlotte. Both are free agents and neither should get a crazy offer. They may just retain both. Jalen is unrestricted and MLE type money might be enough...

I just wonder if there is a deal we could do to get one now? Two guys to watch in FA either as outright signings or sign and trade guys.

Offer them Gay and or DOK for one if the money fits. If they say no, oh well.
