Sexton Trade Ideas Thread

Extension deadline day is coming up soon btw. Sexton+picks for Quickley+Fournier could happen if those negotiations get testy.
 
Yeah, let's trade Sexton and picks for...... more guards that we don't have room for. Excellent idea

Wish he was more a diva at times like this :/ Obviously I'm biased, but is it really in his best interest to sign a discount contract and lock himself into a smaller role? Can't see Knicks throwing the bag at him.

No… if we loved him I could see floating out through back channels that we’d offer a big deal… not like full tampering but just saying “man I thought he’d be in line for something close to what Vassell got”. It doesn’t pay to be a good soldier imo… I’d want to lock in full price as if I was in the bigger role I would get elsewhere. If I was him I wouldn’t take less than RJ money but it’s hard when you are locking in your first mega payday… so wouldn’t fault him if he did settle.

Yeah, I've been saying we should tamper with him for awhile. I suppose there's nothing you can do if he wants to be a good soldier, but he and his agent at least need to know what kind of money+role we could provide for him. Not sure I believe that Jazz love him through based on the NYK-Mitchell trade rumors, but who knows what was real and what wasn't.

Not that I think you can duplicate what happened with Lauri but you can do stuff similar with these youngish players that are good but might be held back by role… he’d be in the top 5 candidates of guys I think that could breakout(he’s already a good player but you catch my drift).

I think he’s viewed as a bench gunner and would be comped to the Herros, Pooles, Simons, of the world but the defense being a plus and not a minus and maybe being a little more point guardy kind of separate him and make him more intriguing.

I think getting guys like this and making them borderline all stars is the most efficient way to utilize our picks in trades.
 
We need a Brogdon trade if we hope to really compete this season imo. I’ve already floated two possible proposals that work on the trade machine. The first was Sexton/Fontechio and the second was THT/Olynyk (both for Brogdon singular including minimal draft compensation).

However, I wasn’t completely pleased with either one as it didn’t completely consolidate the logjam at the guard position. I hadn’t tried Sexton/THT because I didn’t think it would work money-wise, but lo and behold it did. There’s like a six million difference but Portland has the cap space and the need at the position. Match made in Heaven.

This creates minutes for both Dunn and George which is essential as well as giving us a proven commodity with the laurels to prove it at the starting Floor General position. Win win!
 
I would love for Ainge to have a chat with James Harden. Is he willing to play ball until the trade deadline? If he is, he would bring out the best in this team with his passing. We can trade him again to a contender in a few months when Keyonte hopefully is ready to take over.

Sexton + THT works salary wise. Sexton will probably need ro be moved to a third team as Philly want clean books. Add the Lakers 27 pick and see if Morey will bite. We can probably get a future unorotected first from the Clippers when we trade Harden to them at the deadline.

With a move like this, we get much better right away, clean up the guard jam while still keeping most of our assets.
