What do you think the Jazz interests were with Houston that would involve THT?

The Rockets were also in touch with Utah on deal structures that would have sent Talen Horton-Tucker to Houston, sources said. The Jazz have seen continued progress from former No. 5 pick Kris Dunn — who’s found somewhat of a resurgence in Salt Lake City — and would like to afford plenty of opportunity for 2023 first-round selection Keyonte George to handle the controls of Utah’s offense, as well.

Kevin Porter Jr. trade begins week of final roster moves

Oklahoma City needed to let go of three players before Monday and now plans to immediately waive Porter. More moves league-wide could be on the way.

It almost certainly was for Kevin Porter Jr and seconds.

Houston doesn't make much sense for THT. I guess Houston did this to save a little money and get JRE... I mean he's okay... he's like the most generic okayish PF. Maybe we were looking for more than a couple seconds but THT not having more value than a guy that was likely going to get cut is not great.

I actually don't see this rumor as an indictment on THT per se but more a recognition of the logjam we have and the need to get Key on the court. Getting just seconds without a real returning player is kind of what we need.

I think Dunn brings what THT did to the starting lineup just without the extra nonsense and better defense. At this point we likely carry both guys into the season and minute distributions won't be ideal but will be fine for now.

I don’t know… I think it kind of is an indictment on THT.

According to Marks Houston just wanted an expiring salary for future trades. Now they got Oladipo who OKC was going to just cut. Houston also created a 4.5M trade exception.

Yeah just looked at the salary diff... Fertitta loves to save money, so once KP was a lost cause you save a little dough under the guise of having an expiring contract to trade later.

Dunn brings like 25% of what THT brings.
 
Most likely the Jazz discussed this when looking into the Jrue/Dame trades as a way to create extra value for those trades.

He's still here though so that means THT is valued, as evidence by Hardy making him the starting PG despite what droves of imbeciles think.
