Jackpotting Around Podcast: Episode 8 - To Convey Or Not To Convey and Let’s Start A Discussion About Collin Sexton

And by all means look for a Sexton upgrade, but the bar will have to be really high. I also think you can plan to build around both him and Keyonte. Players that would fit one player would fit the other. Its just weird to crown one guy and discount what the other is doing

I mentioned this when Tony came on the podcast… upgrading Sexton will be hard because that type of player had to be really good.

Eh.. I pulled half my stuff from Basketball ref and nba.com. We are making the case that they guy should not be slept on and is giving us every reason to believe in him and yet... still considered a 6th man or not a future building block when he should be at this point. Not gonna get into contract talk as what are we trading him for right now? More picks? We need more good players and we don't think people truly understand how great he has been.

Not gonna worry about his contract until its time to do so... not gonna worry about if he is a starter on a championship team until we are several steps further in the process. We are simply making the case that he is way better (or has played way better) than he has been sold and we should lean away from pigeon holing him as a 6th man etc.

FWIW I enjoyed the Collin Sexton stuff. I don’t think every conversation about players needs to be had through the lens of team building/ front office decision making (especially in a podcast hosted by fans). He hasn’t really received the recognition commensurate with his level of play this year, so it was nice to hear.

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

That's what its really about. Production, attitude, and just straight entertainment value... Sexton deserves more love than he gets.

He has two years left on his contract after this year season concludes.

If you want to capitalize on his play, this off-season is the time to trade him. That's an interesting Sexton discussion to be had.

And no, you can't build around Sexton and Keyonte if you want championship aspirations.

I'm not going to soil our Sexton appreciation pod by talking about his trade value and getting something for him. I don't think you heard the message we tried to convey. We should embrace his play and capitalize by playing him more.

You can. You acquire guys that would fit with either... at some point maybe you pivot but at that point you should know the guy that you should pick. What player that we would acquire fits with Collin but not with Key?

@Elizah Huge @Handlogten's Heros do a pod and invite a jazzfanzer on who is pro convey and debate them first take style.

If you would have prefaced the segment with that, I would have been far less disappointed. Instead I got "Definitive Discussion" thrown at me and I thought I was in for a discussion that talked about good Sexton was, then actually confronted itself with tough questions, but I didnt. I got an appreciation talk and "How isnt everyone super excited?" when the reason why people arent excited because the modus operandi of the Jazz informs us he is likely to get dealt at some point.

Definitive discussion is sarcasm my friend. If something on the pod feels like serious talk... its likely tongue in cheek. We are also trying to challenge some of the assumed messaging that comes out. Some of that stuff is just weird... sorry. Like the whole "Ochai needs to start next year" last season and summer.

Look next pod we will do the "THT deserves more love" pod... if you have 45 seconds give it a listen.
