What Price Should the Jazz Extend THT?

[Handlogten's Heros]

100%. I would even be a little hesitant to go the 4/40M I suggested.

Yeah… not sure why Sexton is like a comp with his money either. If you go all the way to FA you can get paid more… if you sign an extension you give up some dollars to lock in security.

Not to mention… Sexton is a considerably better player.

Sometimes I wonder if we’re talking about the same guy. THT last year as a starter in the back half of the season:

43.4% from the field on 15.6 FGA per game, 30.8% from 3 on 4.6 3PTA per game and to top it off 3.6 TO per game.

Sign me up for 4/80M.

Speaking of Sexton since he’s being used as a comp for some reason:

54.4% from the field on 11.4 FGA per game, 38.5% from 3 on 2.8 3PTA per game and 2.1 TO per game as a starter last year.

The guy who is more exponentially more efficient and less turnover prone is who I would rather have.

Sexton 17.7 PPG vs THT 18.3 PPG as starters meanwhile Sexton did it on 4 less shots per game.

THT 1.6/1 A/TO ratio

Sexton 2.3/1 A/TO ratio

The T in THT stands for turnover.

I think Sexton is a good money comp IF they think they (meaning the Jazz brass) think that he's a similar player. Security/risk goes both ways and no player is guaranteed to get more/less money in FA. It's not always players taking a pay cut for security, teams can "overpay" in extensions to remove the risk of losing the player for nothing. THT opting in was a clear sign that at the time he likely could not have received a good contract. But now that he's seemingly won the starting job I think his position has substantially improved. I don't even think I had minutes projected for him this summer, so he's definitely exceeded my expectations in camp.

I think Sexton has a more proven track record, but if THT is beating him out in camp....it's not unreasonable to think that they are viewed in a similar light. And if we Sexton's contract as a good contract (I Do), you must think THT is significantly worse for 4/$60 to be an egregious deal. If you view them as similar, 4/$60 would be a steal. Especially if the last year is a team option which is what I would expect to be the case.

Legit love that some posters are such babies they let things like a poster really liking a player bother them so much that it changes their opinion.

THT is significantly worse in my opinion. If he ends up starting and crushes it I’ll gladly be wrong. I am a Jazz fan first and fans of players second so if he helps us win I would be ecstatic.
