Collin Sexton traded to Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I really hate that we gave up a pick in this deal. As others have said, if Sexton didn't have any trade value, we should have just cut him.

We have a plethora of first. We are fine in the pick game

Still need front court depth.

Yep. So grab a front court depth scrub off the garbage pile.

Nurkic is a vet center who does not need a lot of minutes

So is yurtseven

Isn't that what Jazz just did?
And they got rid of Sexton's money too

My honest first thought was, this has to mean another trade and likely the LAL will be coming.

Second thought was atleast we got a 2nd, then realized we gave the 2nd and made even less sense.

3rd thought was, you don't let something like a 2nd round keep you from executing whatever plan you have

4th was, Nurkic I guess could be someone Kessler could learn and practice offensively from. IF there's not another trade to move Nurkic.

This is a blatant tank move, while strengthening a team competing against the Jazz for lottery position.

I will admit the inclusion of the pick is weird, but I imagine Charlotte knows what's going down. They are making the Jazz pay a tax for an organic tank that strengthens a tank competitor.

The Charlotte FO isn't some galaxy brain central. The Hornets are a terrible organization that is constantly making bad/inexplicable moves.

Sexton should fit right in their dysfunctional roster. They needed more defense for their backcourt and naturally traded for a dude who doesn't play any.

I would be disappointed if we get the same kind of trade for Collins. I think he should have actual value due to his shooting improvements.

Aka genius

We paid a 2030 second rounder to increase our odds at AJ/Booze/Peterson and will make our young players better in the process

 

[fishonjazz]

Sell the franchise. We are done.

We thought Luka was bad, then this? Crippling.

Dude, this isn't a franchise altering trade.
It's a stupid nothingburger trade done during a slow time of year that just happened that will be discussed for a day.

If the discussion is triggering for you then just come back tomorrow and it will all be over

You can't be serious.

We've spent years dangling a guy (and finding no takers) who's suddenly some difference maker? Please.

Haha some wild overreaction to this in this thread. At worst it’s what is being reported. It’s not franchise altering.

Yall watch too much Island couple swap reality TV.

Nobody thinks it’s franchise altering. It’s a bad trade though. We can all agree on that.

We just paid a second plus Sexton for a guy the Suns paid a first to get off of barely 4 months ago.
