I dont think Ochai moves the needle for anyone so I didnt include him. If teams are trading down they usually want win now pieces and Sexton is more of that I guess.Ochai?

If Portland is desperate for immediate help for Dame, Ainge will listen. Don't think we're willing to give up anything that PDX would look for though. Frankly, if I'm Portland, I am shopping Dame.I think like all things DA... he will go where the opportunity is. If a dumb team wants to do dumb things they will talk with Danny.
you offer 9 and 16, they ask for a future first on top of that, you thanks, but no thanks.

I would package #16 and #28 to move up to #13 for Kobe Bufkin, Keyonte George, Cason Wallace, or GG (if he's still there).
ORL at #11 and OKC at #12 don't need guards as a priority. One of these teams is very likely to take Gradey Dick. So I think a couple of the guards we've been discussing can likely be taken at #13. Jazz would need to get ahead of NOLA and ATL probably.
If you're OK with taking any of those 4 guys, just wait for them at #16.
No way Ochai is fetching the 10th pick.
On my board, there is a drop off after 15. But I think there’s a pretty good chance one of Keyonte, Bufkin, GG, or Hawkins “slips” to 16, I would just be pretty pissed if they were all gone there.If you're OK with taking any of those 4 guys, just wait for them at #16.
I think they would. He fetched #14 last year and had a promising rookie season. He'd replace Tim Hardaway Jr. What do you think they're going to get for #10?
If you surveyed people outside of the Jazz bubble, I don't think it's unanimous that he even had a promising rookie season. He had some moments tanking times, but he was also 22 so it was expected that he was "NBA ready".
He's not better than THJ and there's no guarantee he's replacing anyone in a real rotation. Late first fetch real, NBA rotation level caliber players which is what they would be looking for. For the 10th pick they would want so much more than Ochai.
Don't you think if that were true, they would not have him representing at the lottery? I think Sexton IS the starting point guard next season on this team.I think barring an upgrade via free agency that pushes Sexton to 6th man where he shines , there is little chance a rookie takes it from him at all.Sexton + #9 might get the Jazz to #6 or even #5, depending on what they take back. I have little confidence that the Jazz see Sexton as a core piece longer term. I think he was a rehabilitation project.
