On an only semi-related note, I saw The Cure last night. The opening band was from Scotland. The keyboard guy was wearing a Jazz shirt.
And here’s The Cure with Jazz banners in the rafters.
This looks like a "guy worked out for the Jazz, so we'll say Jazz are interested in order to generate clicks" type of situation to me.
As if the Jazz aren't working out anyone and everyone they can.
Jake Fischer from Yahoo -- I was wondering when this guy was going to show up. Doesn't say much about Utah other than the Jazz have assets to make all kinds of moves.
It sounds as though Orlando may be trying to package 6 + 11 to move up. Charlotte is going to work out Taylor Hendricks in the next week, so maybe that's evidence that the Hornets are entertaining the idea of moving back.
Houston's pick at #4 is on the market.
Detroit is also open to trading and wants to start making win-now moves.

NBA Draft: With Victor Wembanyama projected at No. 1, uncertainty looms for the rest of the top 10
Many executives around the league are anticipating quite a bit of movement through the first round, beginning at the No. 3 selection ever since Portland leaped to that spot during the Draft Lottery in Chicago.

Kysten Peek also lives in Utah so there that connection.Jake Fischer from Yahoo -- I was wondering when this guy was going to show up. Doesn't say much about Utah other than the Jazz have assets to make all kinds of moves.

For one thing, the teams shopping their picks are looking for bonafide, All Star or near All Star-level players rather than just more picks.

Not hot gossip but Hollinger did an article on the option years and thinks THT declines his option. Interesting cuz I thought no way he’d do it.
I think JC and THT could both opt in with the understanding they will get moved and receive extensions in other places. THT may just opt in to stay but I think both should still be considered assets as we look to make moves as it could facilitate a sign and trade type of deal without the cba handcuffs.

We Scots do have a Jazz fan contingent. But The Cure is such a mopey, myopic band. They must endeavor to take solace in The Enlightenment.

Here is the Hollinger column: "The former Grizzlies executive believes Jazz guard Talen Horton-Tucker ($11MM) will decline his option and test free agency, writing that his age (22) could help him get a new contract for the full mid-level exception or better. According to Hollinger, the Lakers will likely decline their $16.6MM team option on guard Malik Beasley, while the Magic will retain Gary Harris‘ $13MM deal, which is currently non-guaranteed (it will become guaranteed if he’s still on the roster July 1)."
More cap space, but will be sad ti see him go as he improved a bunch

If he declines there's always the option we re-sign him on a long term contract. Not sure I'd want to if he's looking for a lot more than $11m, but the option is there.

I’ll go ahead and pass. Not looking to lock him up long term.
I think the best option for him and JC is to opt in with the idea or agreement we are trading them somewhere they can get an extension off of their current salary. I think THT to Brooklyn for Joe Harris and a pick swap of 28 for 21 is something both teams could be interested in.

Pick swaps probably won’t happen with any of the guys that have player options. The timing just doesn’t work. It basically limits the Jazz to using Sexton and KO for those types of deals.
I personally would love to see THT back. I think he’s just scratching the surface of his potential and he likely becomes a rotation player when they manage to get back into the playoffs.

I would be all over that. I think 21 offers some players that 28 doesn't and I really like Joe Harris. THT was really just OK for me. But I am not sure THT offers more than Harris alone so it feels a little Jazz centric.

Well we all know tampering is a thing and the Jazz can negotiate extensions with them if they want... so you simply let them know if they opt in they can be moved and get an extension. They'd have to like their destination. The timing isn't ideal but its not impossible. Its like what CP did to get to the Rockets years ago.
Its unlikely with THT... I think it is what ends up happening with JC either before or after the draft. If we sign and trade him it limits the acquirer... most of the teams with cap space won't be looking at JC. His offers may be right around MLE type offers... this way he can get his money and get to the spot he wants.

His efficiency is just too bad for me to want to re-sign him unless its really cheap and for him to be a third stringer.

Agreed.
If the Jazz draft someone like JHS, Black, or Wallace I think that officially will end any need to bring back THT.
If you had asked before the deadline I would've said he picks up that option. Those Klutch boys are pretty smart and realize this might be the best shot to get their client another long term deal after all those minutes he was given the last 2 months of the season. I believe he declines the option at this point..
