What Price Should the Jazz Extend THT?

[Handlogten's Heros]

Another huge factor: THT will be 23 when his next contract starts. If you get him on a steal like 20 million per year, he can be the headliner in a star trade. Teams would love to start a rebuild with a 23/24 year old rising star like THT.

And what if he tears his ACL… or shoots like **** again? Or shoots better but it’s still ****** because he has several steps to take as a shooter… and that 20M is a millstone that no one wants?

0 points against scrubs lol. I'd offer a half tuna sandwich.

I am pretty sure you know this, but extending him for that much is not possible. His max starting salary on an extension is just over $15 million next year. We have to wait until the off season when his contract has expired and use our cap space to give him more.

Maybe don’t double down on the over the top THT love on the night he doesn’t score, has no assists, has two turnovers and three fouls against G league level talent…. Mmm k?

Honestly, I'd trade him. I'd rather watch Clarkson, George, ochai, and Dunn.

2 million spread out over 20 years? I can get behind that. Do it!

Doubt anyone was trying that hard of the regular rotation

If you had been watching you’d know he was trying… I mean he’s got a max contract riding on his preseason performance.

This. He was playing hard. Just bad. He was very frustrated too. He cared. Which is good imo.
