Dame Time

I don't think a preference between Sexton and Herro would have any bearing on a trade like that. They've got Scoot, and backup point guards are going to be relatively cheap going forward.

It would be about the picks and other players that are complementary to their rebuild.

If there is no preference between Sexton/Herro then Sexton is the winner because of the contract situations
 
I laugh at the offers being offered for Dame. I agree that I would not give up a ton for Dame because of his age and contract but if I am the gm of the Blazers all conversations start with Hendricks and 3 frp.

I am not saying I would give that to them but that is where it starts.

Honestly I would rather hold out for Doncic to want a trade. He is way younger and would keep the Jazz and contention longer.

I would if he had played more games last year.
 
Sexton >>>> Herro just based on the contract alone. The Blazers could actually move Sexton on his deal.

No team would want to pay a roleplayer over $30 mil per season under this new CBA which is basically a hard cap once you reach that 2nd apron. The Warriors had to include a FRP to get off that Poole contract.
 
In Tony Jones’ latest piece, he says the Jazz are targeting players age 24-28 as they continue to build the roster. They want players around Lauri’s age.

That suggests to me Dame isn’t a priority for the Jazz. Still believe Luka is their primary target at trade deadline or ‘24 summer.

I absolutely believe that this is Ainge’s way of thinking. Things have already started going sideways in Dallas with their horrid performance after adding Kyrie. If Kyrie
re-ups with the Mavs, I could easily see their dysfunction being the NBA’s lead story by November. Plus, I don’t see Luka as the type of guy who’s gonna be content to stick around Dallas for the next 3-4 years while watching Cuban bumble from bad trade to bad trade.

If a trade demand actually comes to fruition, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, the resources Utah has to put together a package for Luka that would allow the Jazz to keep some of their core players while pressuring Dallas into a draft pick heavy package that nobody can match.

Luka is 100% diva, but he’s also one of the 5 best basketball players on the planet who hasn’t even sniffed his peak years yet. Hardy coaching a front court made up of Luka, Kessler, and Laurie would be so down right filthy, children under the age of 18 would no longer be able to attend games at the Delta Center.
