I’m still so flabbergasted that the Jazz paid (at least a 2nd) to get this bum.

I think he needs to play 48 minutes a night. The tank will be secure.

I suspect next year in the all time bad draft he will be a first round pick

I look at it as we "paid" to dump Sexton + had to take $ back to get to the salary floor. But why we were the team that had to add the pick is interesting to me.

I think its just because we were the ones calling them.

They’re both expiring contracts. We also didn’t have to get to the salary floor. The salary difference was negligible.

It doesn’t make sense. But whatever.

“We needed a center.”
“It balanced the roster.”

Nurkic could be 400 lbs and he'd still provide more value to this franchise than Sexton.

Because Sexton's value is almost entirely negative. He takes minutes from young players and will win more games.

It's incredible to me that people still can't wrap their heads around the idea that Sexton had no value to this Jazz team and no value to any other team in the league.

Nurk being out of shape and unable to run is a feature... not a bug.

There was a world in which Nurkic got in shape, played well, and earned one more contract. This world where he's indifferent to playing basketball and collecting his last NBA contract is ideal for the Jazz. It's one of the reasons why I've been interested in trading in him for awhile, he doesn't seem too interested in playing basketball or extending his career.

Perfect situation would be to send him home, get a prospect C on roster, and then just waive him at deadline if no trade materializes. Everyone wins.

The real decision here was between waiving Sexton or trading for Nurk. Trading for Nurk keeps the option of trading his contract later instead of strictly dead money. But the extra roster spot+not having to trade a second may have been worth it. We'll see if the FO gets anything out of Nurk, but it's likely that the better option was to simply buy out Sexton.

Keeping Sexton worse than either option.
