2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

I think 16 and Sexton for 12 is fair, but Orlando might not agree. I’m not sure if it’s a good move for us since I really like him, but I think it is fair value.

Needing that puke emoji again.

 

[fishonjazz]

Disagree. Sexton is a far more sophisticated offensive player. Better shot selection shoots straight more consistently, more efficient and at least gives effort on defense, better finisher and gets to the line more.

I agree with this except for better finisher. Clarkson is a wizard in the paint and efficient as hell around the bucket.

Its not that he can't pass. Its that he opts not to pass. Black hole. He averaged very few assists per game. I think less than 2.

Actually less than 1 iirc. Good news is coaching and good teammates can fix that issue.

Fair value is 4 late lottery spots? Trey Lyles was worth more than that.

He's an undersized guard who might not be playable in a playoff series

Might be true. Haven't seen it yet. What is actually true rather than just a might is that he is a good young hard working player with a great attitude on a good contract. I dont think that should be traded for ***** and giggles. I think he is still getting better. Hasn't hit his prime yet. A hard worker with his personality type is a dude I would be afraid to trade and then have major regrets when he hits his prime and reaches all his potential.

He is definitely playable in a playoff series. We aren't talking about a big that can't shoot or defender the perimeter.

idk who is suggesting we do it for ***** and gigles, but the reporting doesnt include him as a core guy so we are going off that intel.

I think he could do well vs certain matchups, but I think there are a lot of scenarios where you choose to bench him completely, but I could be wrong.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I definitely respect Sexton's work ehtic and intensity, but he wants to be a starting PG and now he's in trade rumors. Utah *might* be drafting a guy with their first two picks that they want to develop into a starting PG. And we dont even know what the plan is with Clarkson, who would significantly eat into Sexton's touches.

I love Collin… he ain’t sophisticated though. He a bull. JC has a lot of craft.

Never said he was sophisticated just more than JC. When hot there aren’t many better than JC, but when he’s not he shoots you out of games. Sexton is more efficient, gets to the line and an elite finisher at the rim. And their games to a point are similar. Both have good inside games. My biggest complaint last year of JC was he monopolized the ball too much taking away the ball from Markkanen. From what I saw of Sexton he doesn’t bog down the offense near as much.

Clarkson is much more "sophisticated".

I would say Sexton is a more dynamic scorer because he can do rim finishing stuff JC can't, but Sexton cant do the off the dribble 3 stuff JC can do, so it's probably a wash.

I agree with this except for better finisher. Clarkson is a wizard in the paint and efficient as hell around the bucket.

They actually have similar games in that both are comfortable going inside. That part of Sexton’s game are underrated. But if both drive inside and the defense converges, Sexton is better. That’s kinda what I meant.
