Either way, SExton is a borderline all-star talent who fits perfectly. The cost is just one future first and a trade down of 5 spots. Very cheap considering Sexton is on a bargain deal for 2 years.

Hilarious to me the guy who supposedly loves Sexton is now like "Why would they want Sexton when they can overpay for Monk?"

This would be an absolute steal for Detroit.

Well, being firmly team tank and saying the easiest way to do that is trading Lauri seems pretty pro-trade Lauri lol.

If that's how you want to simplify then by all means. I think there are several routes to tank. I think Lauri has to buy in on a few of them... I also think an offer for Lauri could get wild and someone may give you something they shouldn't. I would kick all the tires on the various routes. It may very well be that the best route for us is to keep Lauri if he agrees to us taking a step back to hopefully take leaps forward later.

A few teams are going to make mistakes overpaying for win-now purposes. I would hear them out and see what might be there.

Again, no to Ivey. You dont just take projects on when you already have a ton and a ton coming up on the horizon.

I'll take your word on the cap situation and there not being any benefit for it being Fournier for Detroit.

Fair enough... it wouldn't be "free". I think you could reroute him for something.

What I think of Collin and what the opinion around the league is might be quite a bit different. I think teams might see them as equal or close to it. I'm trying to think from their perspective.

Well Sexton just proved he's a winning player this past season as well as a knockdown C&S guy when given adequate space. That's just as perfect as it gets for Detroit next to Cade. They dont want to lose anymore. They want to put a respectable product out and Sexton accelerates that. They still get the 10th overall pick which can land them a quality project or win now player.

Look I get it... I actually brought them up on the pod. I would try and see if you could get #5 straight up or give them 29/32 with Collin to get #5. I just don't think they are in a position to give up a future first and it would need to be unencumbered because of their other obligation imo. If they are willing to give up a 29 first or some swaps I think it could be a good deal and they can use space for other things. I just don't know that the opinion of Sexton is all that much different than what people think of Monk leaguewide. I mean hell... we had the guy in house and all you kept hearing is "the Jazz think Collin is a 6th man".

Personality wise he is exactly what they need too... they should be willing but i am not quite sure they will go far enough.

Yeah because the Jazz don't have a jumbo PG like Detroit does.

If we had a Cade I'm sure a lot people would have a different future outlook on Sexton
