THT Going into the Draft
- Thread starter JM4CY
- Start date
He’ll make more than just his NBA contract money. Surely Klutch will get him a nice deal with Nike. Plus any other extracurricular stuff like radio spots, autograph sessions, etc.
Niang, Morris, Nader and Burton all got significantly better playing in the G league. THT will do the same.
Lebron will give that poor kid the death stare after one lousy step back brick and THT will change quickly!
He'll get abused defensively in summer league...and he'll learn.

I’m kind of curious how much faster those feet will be once he starts working out with NBA trainers and drops some of that baby fat.
Talen did the right thing leaving. Landed in a good situation and will be payed very well to play next year in the NBA.
Interesting. THT had a stress fracture discovered at the combine which would explain why he didn't participate in the 5 on 5's and possibly a bit of slip in the draft. Hope it isn't serious and he can play in the summer league.
@mcten Talen Horton-Tucker will not play in the Lakers’ California Classic games in Sacramento, per the team. He is dealing with a stress reaction in his right foot which was discovered at the combine. He will be re-evaluated in Las Vegas during summer league.

Meh. Don't play, get healthy. He is not out there trying to make a team like most of those guys. He'll be on the Lakers. They desperately need to fill their roster with good cheap talent and he's already on their team.
Not to mention the Lakers just dropped ANOTHER 3 players to make room for The Eyebrow's max deal.
I'm not even sure if they have 5 players left on their team currently.
Totally agree, getting healthy is far more important than playing in the summer league. THT needs as much playing time and experience playing under the Lakers coaches as he can get so it is better for him to play if he's able.
The three players the Lakers dropped (aka traded to the Wizards) was actually for new players. They already had enough space for AD. Now they have $32M to sign Kawhi.
THT 2020 NBA Champ!
Are people going to try and still claim Talen made the wrong decision?
Nope. I'm gladly eating all my words and congratulating THT on making the correct decision. I'm very happy for him that it all worked out. Another Cyclone in the league... can't get better than that!!
I think rumor was first year $800,000 and maybe $1.5 mil next year.
