Yall are being ****ing weird about salary. The Jazz will have to pay players next year. They can afford to.
Beverley to Lakers for THT and Stanley Johnson

And when he sucks?
THT is rotational. He plays defense. He can also drive a little bit. Seems like a Danny Ainge-type player.

In no world is Pat Beverly at 34 worth a first round pick. Maybe and I mean a real maybe at the deadline if a team is desperate and assuming Pat has been playing hard for the Jazz and not making a scene about playing for a tanking team its possible to get a really late first.
Getting a young player with a little bit of upside is about as good as you get. Maybe you could get a second as well, but meh. THT could play really well and be traded again right? Worst case he sucks and we have to pay him 11 million next season. Who cares we will struggle to pay enough salary that season anyways.

Then he stays on for his contract or he opts out and re-signs or signs somewhere else.

They could pay good players doe. Or get assets to pay ****** ones.
I mean I guess they really like THT which is fine I guess. Would just think trader Danny would get something extra here.
Will we have his Bird rights?
Or you could buy low on a player and let your team try to develop them...
He's 6'4 with a 7'1wingspan and still 21 years old. He plays hard and has some unique aspects to his game.
Hoarding picks has diminishing return value.

THT is 21. We will be lucky to get someone as good as him with the Wolves pick next year.
This is giving me Ingles for NAW vibes.
Why in the world would we need cap space right now.
Why do we need cap space? Wouldn't a young prospect with upside be just as good or better than really low pick?

How soon can the jazz flipped tht or stanley?
Sure, but there's a HUGE difference between doing the Ingles for NAW trade while you're trying to win a ring and doing a PB for THT trade when you're trying to tank.

I really only hate it because of THT’s contract situation. It’s not like he’s on a team-friendly deal with multiple years left with team control. He has a player option after this season. If he sucks he’ll opt in and we’ll be paying him too much, if he’s good, he’ll opt out and probably go somewhere else.
I would have preferred a couple second rounders to one guaranteed year of a project. Feels like we should have gotten more for Pat Bev.
This feels like a DL move and not an Ainge move.
