Because Sexton's value is almost entirely negative. He takes minutes from young players and will win more games.

It's incredible to me that people still can't wrap their heads around the idea that Sexton had no value to this Jazz team and no value to any other team in the league.

Nurk being out of shape and unable to run is a feature... not a bug.

There was a world in which Nurkic got in shape, played well, and earned one more contract. This world where he's indifferent to playing basketball and collecting his last NBA contract is ideal for the Jazz. It's one of the reasons why I've been interested in trading in him for awhile, he doesn't seem too interested in playing basketball or extending his career.

Perfect situation would be to send him home, get a prospect C on roster, and then just waive him at deadline if no trade materializes. Everyone wins.
 
The real decision here was between waiving Sexton or trading for Nurk. Trading for Nurk keeps the option of trading his contract later instead of strictly dead money. But the extra roster spot+not having to trade a second may have been worth it. We'll see if the FO gets anything out of Nurk, but it's likely that the better option was to simply buy out Sexton.

Keeping Sexton worse than either option.

Ah. His value to the jazz specifically. He was too good.
I get it now.
I didn't note the jazz franchise specification.
Damn, that got you fired up lol

Just give Oscar minutes.

Oh wait..
 
This dude once got mad and requested a trade because he lost his starting spot to the best player in the world.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

The irony of this thread is Nurkic is needed on this team without Kessler and he has actually been playing well. I would not mind bringing him back as a backup, but closer to the mid-level in price.
