This probably doesn't mean jack...but I looked up the salaries of 6th man award winners and I believe THJ is getting paid a lot more than those guys. I looked this up like a month ago and it doesn't take into account cap increases or inflation or whatever else could effect pricing...so it's not perfect. I believe Jamal Crawford was getting around 10M per and same with Lou William's. Eric Gordon had a large contract though if I remember right. Anyway...if I remember correctly I came away thinking THJ was getting paid well compared to those guys.
THJ is sort of borderline starter/6th man.
https://www.spotrac.com/nba/rankings/202...ing-guard/ gives you a good look. THJ & Harris round out the current top of the list of guys in their "tier." I think Terrance Ross at 13.5 gives you the floor of what he could get. Kennard's extension is also around that number. Remember that Bog just got 18 mil but he was and RFA.
All that to say I think its pretty clear to me that the salary range for THJ will be 13-18 mil/yr based on comps.
