Beverley to Lakers for THT and Stanley Johnson

[fishonjazz]

THT isn’t good yet

Fixed it for you.
I dont think THT has reached his prime or potential. Will Hardy gonna mold him into a good player.

I think a Mitchell trade must be close now. I think if they kept DM then they would have kept Bev.

I hope so. I still wouldn't be surprised to see them send Westbrook to Indiana for Hield and Turner.

Two firsts and a big buy out opportunity…. how is that remotely better than what New York has on the table?

 

[fishonjazz]

Awesome… if he’s good he gets paid or bails… if he sucks we get to pay him next year to keep sucking. Gotta at least get something for the money aspects.

What about a 3rd option? He is just ok and plays about as good as his contract, we re-sign him, then he blows up.

 

[fishonjazz]

This is giving me Ingles for NAW vibes.

NAW outplayed ingles since the trade.

 

[fishonjazz]

We swap a winning piece with losing pieces so we can set up the tank. Only way I can think of it.

Well ya. I figured everyone understood that.

What? We're not talking about Donovan to the Lakers for Westbrook...we're talking about sending two or three of or vets like Bogey, Clarkson, Conley, Beasley etc. to the Lakers for Westbrook and hopefully both of their first-round picks. Then we would still send Don to the Knicks.

 

[idiot]

I imagine this makes a Westbrook trade to Utah much less likely.

Or the other way to read it is that it may not have been as likely as we were imagining here.

But I don't know. Jazz still have things Lakers could want if they go off of Westbrook: Bogey, Clarkson/Beasley, Vanderbilt, maybe even Conley though that's less likely with Beverley already there. Who knows (although this is a longshot), maybe they wanted to do Beverley a solid before the other aggregation trades went through and this worked well enough on its own as a straight up deal?

All I know is that Bron made damn sure he was held out of the A.D. trade.

No picks? What does this accomplish for the Jazz?

Jesus ****ing Christ. There better be a follow-up here because this makes absolutely no sense.

So, we trust Ainge on evaluating draft talent but not trading for 21 year olds? Got it.

What are you talking about? I already said I like the trade. I think he ends up being a solid rotational guard. If we go full tank with a Mitchell trade then I could see him putting up 15,5 and 5 this year.

 

[NUMBERICA]

We're a rebuilding team trading a 34 year old for THT and Stanley and some of you are angry we're not also getting a pick.

lmao.

Neither are rebuilding pieces since THT sucks and so does Johnson and isn’t young.

Jesus ****ing Christ. There better be a follow-up here because this makes absolutely no sense.

How does it not make sense? We get a look at young guard that has shown flashes of potential and could be part of a future rebuild.

 

[fishonjazz]

Yep, 2/12 solid picks over 15 years should get is where we want to go.

Well those 2 we hit on did bring us to the promised land after all (the second round of the playoffs)

 

[fishonjazz]

Yeah screw trying to draft Mitchell, Gobert, Dwill, Hayward and Millsap. We are guaranteed to get those foundation pieces in free agency. What an idiot.

And all the championships that come with those foundation pieces too.

 

[Release the Kraken]

What? I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

How is a trade for an aging head case with a huge *** contract going to help us? I’m serious, enlighten me.

THT struggled last year but was really good his second season. If he can snap back to that player then we have a solid young guard to be part of a rebuild.

 

[fishonjazz]

So if he has a great year and leaves what exactly did we gain from this trade?

Maybe I had fun watching his great year for one thing. Maybe we trade him at the deadline during his current great year. (dont know the rules on that though tbh)

Ummmmm

That will either suck and eat cap or leave. 0 upside here.
