2021 FREE AGENCY: Markkanen wants out of CHI | DAL "definitely interested"

[Scott41theMavs]

With the Lakers acquiring Russell Westbrook and his massive salary, could the Mavs swoop in and get Talen Horton-Tucker?  I mean my goodness the Lakers have 3 guys making about 120 million combined for the next few years.  I'm guessing they want to fill the rest of their roster with not too many more high-priced players.  THT could definitely fill the role as a starter opposite of Luka.  He would be our secondary ball handler.  He plays solid defense and is remarkably only 20 years old.  I know his 3 point percentage wasn't great (only 28%) this past year, but when he actually started, it was a little better.  The potential is definitely there.  I would be ok with a THT and Richaun Holmes offseason.

Don't make cow drool.

I'm down for a THT/Holmes offseason.

Was thinking the Mavs might show interesting Kemba (again?) depending on how things shake out.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I think at least one out of Caruso/THT will be available and I would take both if that´s an option.

Never heard of him.

I’m with both to replace THJ and JB or keep THJ to come in with Caruso.

Hpw muxh do you think it would take to sing THT?

Would a THT and Fournier signing possible?

[cjeter24]

Guys explain the THT love to me. I see a guy who can't shoot and doesn't have all that impressive stats. Seems like a guy hyped by LA media. 

I've at least seen Caruso ball out defensively and hit clutch shots.

[SwisherPrice]

Just turn this YMCA roster into a 24 Hour Fitness roster...that's all we can do this offseason

4/56  

Remember that the Lakers can back load the final two years of his contract and only pay ~10 per the first two.

Only 20 years old and already a rotation player on a contender. He has the PJ Tucker frame. 6´4 with a 7´1 wingspan. Also brings some playmaking and ballhandling ability on offense. Great part is his ability to get into and finish in the paint. Takes more than 40% of his shots at the rim. Makes 64% of them.

Sign me up if we can get him for that. I was hearing more in the 4/80 range.

Defends well.  Has shown he can create for others.  Handles well.  Finishes well around the rim.  His shot doesn't look broken.  If he ups his percentages, he'll be the perfect running mate on any team.  Still 20 years old.

THT shot 46% from the field and 78% from the FT line this past season.  His 3% shooting is definitely in line for improvement.  I would think our head coach has a pretty good feel on the type of player THT could be and for that matter Caruso.  But I would prefer THT.

4/84 is his max.  I don't think he'll get that.  I could see 4/60.  If matched, the bigger the offer he gets, the more it screws with the Lakers cap down the line.  Win/Win.

[Scott41theMavs]

Edited the initial post with all of the POs sorted out, as well as all of the TOs aside from Daquan Jeffries (hurry the hell up, Spurs). Will update RFAs to UFAs as best I can.

Not advocating. Just putting on my Mark Cuban hat.

Um, no. Not waiting on anyone. I thought there was a number LAL *couldn't* match.

So ya'll on the THT train now huh?

[TXBamanut]

Not me.
