I would much rather trade Kessler and Sexton than Lauri to ensure the tank while giving the kids something to hold onto.
BTW: Who the hell are the Lakers supposed to sign with the taxpayer MLE that will make any difference?
The only decent players left are Tyus (who would be good for them), Achuiwa, and Okoro. What makes Jazz a good trade partner is that we can eat extra salary so they can use their full MLE….but Tyus is prob the only guy worth it to them.
If we’re not trading Lauri, I don’t think it’s a terrible idea to take the pile of stuff from NYK for Kessler and then trade Sexton to the Lakers.
Not gonna get ideal value for either though.
