KO is such an easy choice at that money.

 

[Coach Ellis]

The big decision was always going to be Clarkson opting in or out, and what the Jazz would offer to retain him.

Jmac ain’t too bad on a minimum.

Who?

 

[Shad]

Even if everyone gets brought back. We have so much leverage in trades. There might be a lot more salary dumps of stars with underperforming teams and the Jazz might be licking their chomps waiting for it.

So something that seems to be getting lost right now in the wake of the Collins deal is that every dollar the Jazz take on past this year jeopardizes the renegotiate and extend that should really be priority one in the near term. It would remove the question as to whether Lauri re-signs or not, and it would likely mean that his later years are cheaper which will also be important in building something enduring.

To me, Sexton doesn't even seem to see the floor well enough to make the right reads. He's a bench gunner. His decision-making has gone from pathetic in Cleveland to reasonable-for-an-SG. We need an orchestrator.

I disagree a lot with that. As a starter he had a 5/2 AST/TO ratio which is pretty damn good.

So, 2.5/1. It’s alright. But what of assist rate or percentage? It’s not very good.

He’s efficient and productive as a scorer which is nice.

23.7% as a starter which is a career high for him.

It doesn't really matter to me if Sexton utilizes the spacing to create his own scoring opportunities as long as he's efficient, he was very efficient last year. What's most important is that he's able to utilize the spacing to break down the defense, doesn't matter too much if it ends up in a pass to a teammate or a bucket for himself.

I agree and he’s super efficient. He is on a whole other planet than THT.

If Sexton proves to be the player he was last season during his short stint as a starter that would be amazing for us. He was at Lauri level of efficiency.
