Collin Sexton traded to Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic

2031.

We also own the Clippers 2030 2nd outright per the Eubanks deal IIRC.

It’s been confirmed it’s 2030.

Buy him out. Solved.

Nurkic is a vet center who does not need a lot of minutes

Buy him out. Solved.

Still need front court depth.

They clearly want the young guards to play. Getting Jrue doesn’t help that goal.

Trade Jrue. But yeah, then they have to do more work.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Uh I wanted to move the vets, but not for more vets. This is so ****ing bad

That is not correct. Sexton is expiring, just like Simons who also makes $9 million more.

If they don't want sexton on the roster, because he's going to take touches away from young guys, and also decided they still need the money to be expiring I really don't think it's that insane.

Very reminiscent of bogey for ko.

Buy him out. Solved.

Sending a 2nd to somehow save face for the ‘we’re not [tanking]’ lark is weakness.

In essence they are telling us they value Nurkic at 19M more than a second round pick and whatever savings we could have had if we buy out Sexton.

I’m addressing the inanity of sending a 2nd rounder. We didn’t have to. And we wouldn’t have to give Nurkic - who I could not possibly be less interested in having by around or watching - minutes either.

What a total waste of Sexton. It is so stupid that we attached a 2nd rd pick to move the better player on an expiring contract.

 

[Basketball Novice]

Is there a move for Kessler on the way? It's really the only way I can see this making sense. Otherwise, just buyout Sexton and save yourself the 2nd round pick.

This is good
Sexton is gone, now Collins and Clarkson
One down, two to go

Just. Buy. Him. Out.
