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.
I don't think sexton is truly negative, but I'd guess we were only interested in taking back expiring deals to preserve cap for whatever reason.
Additionally, he needed to be moved. We couldn't go into the season sitting him, and young guys have to play.
I'd guess we could have taken on worse...
If there's a second move loaded up and ready to go I wouldn't hate it, if we're just going to roll with Lauri + Jaylen and burn essentially two top 5 picks between this year and next year to do it, yuck.
It makes some sense to me if they're either trying to prevent someone trading up to 4 or entice someone to do so for 5.
Of course, could easily just take fears too.
I get the concern with Ace, but he has a skill set and measurement combo you're not usually going to get a shot at outside the top 5.
Would be pretty bummed to take someone like Knueppel over him.
Fanspo claims this works, IDK if value is quite right but looks close to me. If the Rockets wanted Sexton instead of Clarkson I think they could send one more of their non-premium (Reed) prospects our way.
The more I think about this, the more I think we'd probably have to ship 21 or multiple...
Is there something where Phoenix trades Durant, we get brooks or green + 10 and Smith and send out Kessler + Collins to phx? Salaries probably off, but maybe close. I don't think phx has the juice for Kessler + Lauri combined.
