What can we get for Sexton in a trade?

Seriously, I’m so over him and his brand of selfish basketball. He makes the ‘wrong play’ every time.

I’ll be happy if we can just get your run of the mill distributing backup PG for him.

At least he/she can run the offense and get everyone else involved.
 
John Collins. Atlanta don't need him but its an easier contract to move down the line and they get off Collins contract and don't have to pay lux tax.
 
I like him but I'm kind of skeptical that he will develop into a point guard, and he's definitely too small to be a shooting guard. I don't really view him as a long term piece, so I would be fine with moving him.

Atlanta sure as hell has ZERO interest in Sexton. They have Trae and Dejounte.

I don't think many teams have interest in a score first small guard with suspect ball handling and plays with blinkers.

Any deal we do with Sexton we will need to provide some form of incentive, unless we take on an even worse contract/player which to be honest could suit us provided they can give us something different. If we go option 1 what is the appropriate amount of compensation to give away? If we go option 2 who is bad a contract out there that potentially in the right environment be a more productive player and help us.

a PG averaging more turnovers than assists? prolly nothing.

Not quite, 1.9 apg and 1.6 tos pg. i still believe that he has a very high ceiling and has value on the trade market due to his athletic and scoring capabilities. He’s not as bad as some folks around here make him out to be. That being said, he’s currently my top candidate for trade bait based on the fact that he and Beasley both play the microwave role for us and Beasley is more efficient at it.

What’s your point OL? Are you just trying to rile me up before hitting the hay? Have you not seen his 3 on 5 from college? I know you have. He can score the rock and has decent percentages. Look it up. I advocated that we use him as trade bait! What’s your ****ing point!

And second of all if you had any reading comprehension you might realize that I said that because of his efficiency Beasley was the guy I would keep. Get it? KEEPER!
 
Dude is terrible. Terrible.

Hardest hands I've ever seen on a 6'0'' guy who's spent his whole life with the ball. Feels like the rock is never safe with him, not for one second.

Before his injury, Sexton was an athletic marvel, but I'm just not convinced he has a lot of raw basketball talent, compared to the average NBA rotation player. The attitude is there, the effort is there, the (irrational) self confidence is there, but he has absolutely no BBIQ to speak of and tends to stop the ball like he was still the #1 option on the Cavs.
 
Jazz currently aren't going to get anything for Sexton except a bad contract in return. He's not a PG. He doesn't look like the same dude from 2 years ago before the injury. A serious meniscus tear is not a minor thing for a player whose entire game was based on athleticism. Lonzo isn't a guy that relied so much on athleticism and he can't get back on the court at all after his meniscus injuries.

To me he's looking confused on the court. He's reminding me of Piston era Reggie Jackson. Detroit eventually ended up buying him out. Jackson didn't figure out the game until he got to the Pistons late in his career.

I would look at the Mavs. They are desperate for guards/scoring. They don't really need another PG. Sexton would just need to get open next to Luka. They already have a backup PG in Dinwiddie. Jazz would probably need to take back a bad contract such as Tim Hardaway JR or Bertans though.

With the obvious exception of Lauri the Donovan trade is looking a little rough. Agbaji and Sexton look to be long term projects. Hopefully Cavs start to unravel by the end of this decade when their picks are due.

The problem is that Sexton can't play off the ball. Like, at all. He's literally never done it in his entire life. If he doesn't have the rock, he's waiting for it instead of making himself useful. There's no in-between.

IMO it's possible that he spends the last couple of years of this contract sitting on someone's bench, out of the rotation. Just a player who's a very tough fit in the modern NBA, where ball movement and switchability are important.
 
First off , they need to give him a Valium before each game .

No use trading him right now and get nothing back .

I think the best case scenario is slow him down , play the high screen for him and hit 12-15 ft jumpers , and get better at the floater and lob pass to the bigs .

He really is trying to do everything at a million miles an hour , I do think there is potential there that he can be coached .
