I havent cherry picked anything. He's a 22 year old who just played his first half-season at a new position and I used the relevant stats of that experience.
What Price Should the Jazz Extend THT?
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
When we traded for him I told you he was a lock to opt in and he did.

Brother I always said he would opt in because he loved it here and had an easy path to starting over the lesser Sexton.
link?
I don't even want to get into the debate between the two, been enough of that. But viewing this from the FO/team perspective...one guy is considered a considered a "good" contract at 4/$72 so how can the guy who is beat him out be such a bad deal at 4/$60? You can agree/disagree with Hardy's evaluation of the two, but it's safe to say they're extremely close in the pecking order. Contracts have more considerations than this, Sexton has a longer track record for example, but I don't think that changes the fact that he is a very reasonable reference point. But at the end of the day if the Jazz believe in THT to the extent that they believe in Sexton I don't see why they wouldn't be open to that type of contract.
That’s fair but his production on the floor needs to back up Hardy’s evaluation if he is the starter.
No you did not brother. I am talking about when the trade happened.
Sexton got his contract because the trade had to work.
This like those Bilal boxscores you made up?
That’s not true because other players could have been added in his place.
You really think we’d sign a guy to a 4/72M deal who we didn’t think warranted it to just make a trade work?
To get all those draft picks? Hell ****ing yeah lmao.
Did you read the tweet I commented on? It says THT could impress in Utah. Spoiler alert he did not.
Impressed Hardy enough to be our starting PG over a guy who gets paid more than him on a longer contract.
Sure, and maybe the Jazz FO doesn't love that contract, but I the point still stands. If you are ok with Sexton at 4/$72, you would have to think THT is soooo much worse if you think 4/$60 for him is egregious. THT being the starter doesn't really speak Sexton >>>>> THT to me.
Didn’t impress enough to get more than 11M on the open market.
Hardly any teams had cap-space man. He was in line to get a starting job at PG and expand his value. Keep crying about THT cuz he beat the pony you tied your money to.
Dillon Brooks got 4/86M lmao. I don’t evaluate players on emotion like you do.

THT got handed the starting job when we needed an effective tank commander to drive the team into the ditch, quicly.
These are the facts of the case and they are undisputed.
It’s really rich for you to be saying this when your a** goes silent in the game thread when Sexton is cooking.
