What Price Should the Jazz Extend THT?

[infection]

For sure. I don't think they view it as a success or big failure, but i think given the chance to go back they likely would pass on it.

What chaps my *** the most is that this will be attributed to being something that could have only been appreciated in hindsight.

He is kind of a “tease” as a player so I can see how we or other teams talk themselves into him. My whole deal was it just felt like a gamble where they needed to pay for the second year on that deal with some seconds. Since all we did with our cap space was acquire the free John Collins I guess the opportunity cost isn’t bad with hindsight. THT will help the tank later in the season or maybe we can flip him for a new version of THT with more years on his contract and do this again.

I should go bump the thread when this happened there were a couple of us (myself and HH for sure) stating how bad of a deal it was.

One of us (not saying who) was so sure it was a bad deal that he came up with a theory to explain why we could have possibly done the deal. That theory was later proven 100% correct according to all JazzFanz users.

I mean, its still better than the contract we gave Sexton....

I don't think we gave Sexton a contract did we?
I thought we traded for him and Cleveland had given him the contract but I'm not certain.

Down payment theory?

Well, we needed him included to get the deal done to have salaries match. He was a sign-and-trade.

The Jazz negotiated the contract. I'm not certain on the details to what HAD to be done to make the deal legal, but we put way too many damn years on it.

Had to have at least three years... annual amount needed to hit a certain threshold too... he also would have had us over a barrel if we tried to play hardball. its not a great contract but I think its salvageable in multiple ways.

A 4/80 extension on THT would have been atrocious. THT is looking at minimum or BAE next year unless he plays a lot better. Sexton if he was a free agent likely looking at Malik Monk type money when he was coming out of Charlotte. 2/37M after this year isn't great but its only off by 10-15M total over the two years.

Sexton 100% has worse trade value. Nobody wants that contract. THT is at least expiring. They both suck.

The money had to be enough that his and Markkanen`s contract could get close enough to Mitchell`s contract to make the trade legal. It had to be minimum three years, but not all years had to be guaranteed. We only guaranteed one year when we tried to put one over on the sixers when we made agreed to an offer sheet with Paul Reed.

Sexton`s contract looks fair at the moment and I can`t see any realistic scenario where it puts us in a tough spot.
