I asked Andy but no specific package has been mentioned. He speculated Clarkson due to the Quin connection there. I speculated KO due to his expiring salary.
Yeah. Unfortunately right now we have the Robins, but we need to add the Batman.
<Nerd alert> screw Batman and bring us the Kryptonians like Superman
Eh, there are only a bare handful of kryptonians, and they are way too expensive and entitled to come to Utah. But it's been proven that a couple batmans can take down a Superman.
Atlanta is a team that I could see wanting JC. Quin loves JC and JC loves Quin.
Then the LAL would try Sexton if Atlanta didn't bite.
The thing I got from Andy was just kinda the stuckness. I'm still not sure the team has a huge preference. I'm not sure KO has a huge impact on our pursuit of the play in unless there are injuries. If you listen to episode 2 you will know that "early seconds are the new late firsts". They are much easier to acquire right now and on draft night you can flip the 35th or 36th pick plus a second for a late first (as 50% of the picks between 20-30 are Stepien restricted right now). Its also easier to give a first when you know its the 25-30th pick and you have an idea of who will be available around that part of the draft. So if we get a couple seconds and one is in the 30s as of right now... go ahead and just call that a late first... cuz it is.
Maybe. It does sound like the Jazz would jump at an offer of Lakers 1st, and removing the protections on the 2027 pick for Sexton. I'm still in the don't trade Collin camp.
Sexton is clearly the heart of the team this season.
I would think he'd make the "untouchables" list. I mean no one is really untouchable but I'd think there would be less smoke about moving him. I tend to agree the dude has been amazing and seems to be improving on the right things. I have some serious Sexton stuff rattling in my brain that will need to come out on the pod in the next few weeks.
