Who gets waived?

[Elizah Huge]

The Minivan is tearing up thinking how bad THT sucks and bringing down the reputation of Iowa State.

THT looks like a 4 inch shorter version of Boris Diaw.

Then they aren’t great at player evaluation cuz he ***. Lots of ***.

It’s hilarious. Even if they do like him he ****ing sucks lmao. Like ok you got me the Jazz like a player who is trash and I don’t so I’m wrong lolz. Gotcha lolz.

I just think the cost of keeping him on the roster this year is far more than 6 million in capspace next year. He straight isn't wanted or needed.

Waiving Gay doesn’t come with draft picks.

Neither did trading for THT.

You can just bench. They did it last year. It's not that big of a dral

No I mean to the question of why everyone is okay waiving Westbrook but less okay waiving Gay.

I don't think anyone here is against waving Gay, but we just don't think it's going to happen.

I think it's mostly salary matching. And honestly I think THT might have been about salary matching too (to an extent). Same with KO. Utah is going to have a good number of mid sized expiring contracts next year if they want to which are very valuable for trades.

And I know the joke is "oh if THT plays really well he will opt out"

I don't think that's going to happen. The best we can hope for with THT is progress, but I doubt that progress will be enough to make it smart to opt out of 10 million. But you might be able to develop him enough where his 10 million expiring is viewed as a positive asset both for the contract and potential further development.

This is a commonly repeated phrase for at least two decades and the times that they are moved (because of that specific value you mention) have been a significant exception.

Of course. There isnt always a trade available, but its good to be ready given the treasure trove of picks we have. You just never know when that star becomes available.

Not true at all... we just moved a contract like this and got (checks his notes)... THT... ****.
