Other teams can give him a poison pill contract that is first two years for around $10M and then two years at max for a 4-year $84 million offer. Lakers can match if they want.
Since THT is a Klutch client, the Lakers wouldn’t try and S&T THT unless it was for a great contract on a team where he is a good fit. Same as with Trezz, another Klutch client.

True but if he doesnt take a big step forward they’re stuck with that pill. Not saying its not possible but it’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out.

10mill is a good haul for THT considering his limited experience on the court. Hopefully nobody goes crazy and makes a ridiculous offer causing us to lose him. Really wanna keep him & AC here at around that price. Decent value.

One of the benefits of a triple S&T like the Lowry (S&T) for Schroder (S&T), THT (S&T), and Kuzma is that it can often lead to the players being signed-and-traded for each side are able to get a little more higher salaries as a result.
In this deal, you have Lowry who wants the Lakers to pay him close to $25M and Schroder who wants the same from the Raps and THT who’s a Klutch client and should get compensation for being traded over $10M.
