Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I must be higher on Sexton than just about anyone here. I think he is much more capable than just being a microwave 6th man scorer off of the bench. He has averaged 17/5/2 on 55/39/87 shooting in 10 starts this year.

To add a bit to that, I think most of us think Sexton is simply a microwave scorer off the bench and not much more and that he cant run a team as a full time starting point guard.
Well something I think a lot of us have noticed is that Hardy coaches Sexton more and harder than anyone on the team.
Seems to me that a simple microwave scorer off the bench would need the least amount of coaching. Pretty easy role to understand. Go in and put the ball in the hoop. If you are missing, keep shooting. Like JC with quin. Doesn't need much coaching.

The fact that Hardy spends to much time coaching Sexton so hard makes me wonder if Hardy sees a lot more in Sexton than many of us think is there. Maybe Hardy thinks Sexton is the pg of the future.

I don't know, Tim MacMahon and Tony Jones have both said in the past few days that the Jazz view Sexton as a 6th man and not a future starting point guard, and both of those guys have sources in the organization.

True. Just weird that particular simplistic role would require the most coaching of any role on the entire team. I find that a bit odd. Especially since he seems to have that role perfected already. Probably be in the 6th man of the year running if he stayed healthy and had that role consistently all season and was allowed the green light JC had with quin.
He is also shooting less this season than he ever has in his career by quite a bit. Seems like a 6th man scorer off the bench role would be getting told to shoot more but from what I watch it seems like the opposite. He rarely gets yanked and coached for passing too much.

I don’t really understand what all the flack is all about if it didn’t cost us an arm and a leg (Gay or exception /2nd as you said). I like it as a Collins replacement scenario and we keep Vando and Beasley. Collins stats are total **** and Vando’s stats own both these guys. Still we can use Rui as a Gay replacement with plenty of growth potential.

They’ve got no reason to want Rudy Gay with all the PF’s on that team. Exception or I think NAW would really make the trade roll. Then we rub Gay off on the D’Lo deal and we’re in business.

I'm high on his offense - his ability to put pressure on the basket no matter what coverage he faces is something you absolutely cannot teach, and it's very valuable in the NBA - but being 6'1'' with bad defensive instincts will always mean he's a bench player, IMO. You can't pair him in the backcourt with anyone remotely similar if you hope to contain dynamic opposing guards.

The league has changed pretty quickly in this regard. The ultra quick jitterbug guard is something of a dying breed, at least in starting lineups.

Maybe the coaching is more about defense?

I like MacMahon but he also kept repeating we weren’t going to take back long-term salary in a Donovan deal and we did the exact opposite of that.

That’s a big difference from a Donovan-like package lmao.

Still too rich for my blood... Like would you do Ochai and 2 of the unprotected firsts? I would not... I'd wait out the season and send them or whoever traded for him a lower offer maybe.
