What can we get for Sexton in a trade?

He's not a facilitator. He's a scorer.

The dude is shooting 46% from the field and 35% from three on the season.

Again, you put him out there to get buckets. As long as Hardy realizes this we're good.

Y'all treating him like he's Dante Exum.

He literally started at PG against the Clips.

The problem is that Sexton can't play off the ball. Like, at all. He's literally never done it in his entire life. If he doesn't have the rock, he's waiting for it instead of making himself useful. There's no in-between.

IMO it's possible that he spends the last couple of years of this contract sitting on someone's bench, out of the rotation. Just a player who's a very tough fit in the modern NBA, where ball movement and switchability are important.

He's been playing off ball fine with Conley.

His issue is that he's short and has to be off ball, not that he is incapable of being off ball.
 
Could we trade him for Crowder? We need more nasty on the floor and better defense with longer players. Crowder fits the bill. We don't need more small ball-dominant guards with tunnel vision.

This is it.

He's a small 6'-1" guard that needs to be off ball. Conley + Sexton were actually our best 2 man lineup although that's probably not the case after the past few games.

I also don't think JC + Sexton is a fit together on the court as they both have the same weaknesses. JC is just beginning to distribute the ball in his 9th season but still falls into bad habits of taking quick, bad shots.

With Conley out I would even say Olynyk might be the best "PG" on the roster.
 
I'm not super concerned with Sexton. He has been playing mostly good defense and some nights he adds a nice scoring boost. We weren't supposed to be this winning oriented and he was going to have some opportunities to grow. Those growth moments have cost us in sometimes... if it happens in a tanky year no problem.

I see him trying and that is where some of his miscues happen. He started stopping for the floater instead of going at the rim every time. He did a Nash dribble and tried to sneak one past Zubac instead of just going right at him. Ideally someone cuts when he engages the center that far under the basket and hopefully Collin sees them. The three he missed wasn't a bad shot... but he hesitated and once you are out of rhythm you should just get into a set.

Hardy wants more from him than just a bench scorer... that's why he is driving him hard. Honestly Beasley was just as rough or rougher than Collin last night. Got blown by multiple times and looked like he had zero energy. Sexton definitely gives full effort... even if it leads to some BS.

Fit is not ideal with JC... if a good deal came around for Sexton then I'd be cool moving on... but we have 4 years to be patient here.

I agree about this partially. Going 1on1 defense vs smaller guards he is awesome. He stays in good position and doesnt give open lanes.

However his switches, play around screens and support awareness are not good. He also should get more steals due to his size and quickness.

I thought of this as well. But then I realized I dont want him to bounce the ball. His bounce/TO ratio is bad.

While we are discussing guys that should not dribble. Vando dribbling down the court for almost no reason is getting old. I get he can string a couple dribbles together but it more often leads to BS than anything good.
