Plus a pick… the way Sexton is playing and on a reasonable contract compared to what Quickley is going to get.
Sexton isnt a bad player, but the Knicks have next to no need for him. When you're a team featuring a 6'1 star you have to be more size minded and they have a ton of guard talent.

And as far as the Jazz, IQ is just flat out better. It's worth the price difference. IQ makes you better on both ends.

Don't you know... the grass is always greener.

Instead of playing IQ 24 minutes per game they give 20 minutes to Sexton, get a pick, and can fill in the rest of the minutes with the other options they have. They roll the asset forward and avoid having to eat a 30-35M per year offer sheet they hope to flip later.

You can overlap IQ and Brunson though. You cant play Sexton/Brunson together at all.

Why is IQ playing 24 minutes per game then? Even so you can roll with Sexton for 16 minutes per night at 17M instead of IQ for 24 minutes per game at 30M+... also that's what the pick is for.

Because Thibs has too many guards that all need minutes and who are all worthy of minutes. Knicks need to consolidate. Brunson is incredible for them and they need to make some moves to build the team around him while keeping their options open for adding a star down the line.
 
I think Keldon next to Brunson would be great. He can really shoot it and fits better than RJ.
They aren't much different from one another. Keldon got demoted on a ****** Spurs team. He's fine.

If he's an all-star type player worth a max and they overlap well... then why would you play mid guys like Donte and Grimes over more IQ minutes? Just go ahead and sit those dudes and prioritize IQ.
