Collin Sexton trade market

[HadAnEffectHere]

Sexton is an elite intangibles guy who can score efficiently at all three levels due to quality shooting and great athleticism. Sexton averaged 25.3 points and 6.6 assists per 36 with a 105 TS+ while shooting 48.7/39.4/85.9, leading to an OBPM of 3.7 (22nd best in the NBA). He has two years, $37m left on his contract after this current season.

He's unfortunately a 6'1" SG who is way too small to realistically defend in the postseason.

So... What teams would be interested?

[Mavrelous]

Mavs would be, undersized SGs fit on the Mavs because of Luka and Exum being the PGs, Hardy disappointed this season after he showed a lot of promise in his rookie year.
THJ/Hardy/TOR 25 2nd/future 2nd.

I think Orlando should win this “bidding war”..

But think Utah needs to really consider adding talent if they want to keep Lauri, not trading talent. Sexton isn’t great, but he is really good and Utah doesn’t have many better players.

[Colbinii]

I would be fairly disappointed if I were a Utah fan and I pursued another season of being bad. Colin is a talented player who is seemingly putting it all together. Keyonte George has intrigue but also major red flags surrounding his growth potential, which makes me lean towards keeping Sexton.

As far as Colin being undersized and being a weakness in the post-season, it is possible, but I think focusing on making the post-season should be the first priority. If Utah makes the post-season and Colin is a weak point, then you can move on from him once the team feels they can become a title contender.

I don't know if the Jazz care at all about keeping Markkanen... Have no real sense of what Ainge and Smith care about at all right now actually.

The team seems to have completely given up on Hardy and Ainge and are playing... some of the worst basketball in franchise history right now... Which I guess Ainge and Hardy want? They started 26-26 and will finish the season 3-27 and have been easily the worst defensive team in NBA history since the tank started.

Not sure what the relationships between Markkanen, Sexton, and Kessler with the organization are like right now, but I would lean towards very bad... And Ainge traded Mitchell with three (3!) years left on his contract because the relationship between Mitchell and the Jazz had gotten not great.

Sexton for WCJ?

Sexton for WCJ?

I think Orlando should prefer to use a first over WCJ. But if they do this, they’d go shopping a first for a center.

So either way I guess.

From ORL perspective, I'd give a frp (top 5 protected) and take him into cap space...but I'm certainly concerned about a guy looking up at Cole Anthony. Coming out of college, Sexton (if I remember correctly) was said to be a fierce competitor and defender, but most posts about him are negative about his D. 20ppg scorers don't just drop out of the sky...He wouldn't be my first choice of targets due to his size, but I'm certainly intrigued as a Magic fan...I'd be hesitant to include WCJ unless it was part of a bigger deal, for example...

ORL sends: WCJ, Cole Anthony
UTA sends: Sexton, Hendricks

Cole is a very explosive bench scorer, but I just think he'd be out of a job with Sexton in and, hopefully, Black and Jett Howard coming up strong in the very near future.

*what happened to Walker Kessler this year? (people were arguing for him vs Paolo ROY)

Kessler's confidence was destroyed this year because he's afraid of getting fouled and because the coach benched him because

1. The coach wants to run 5 out on offense and roaming defensive schemes (which don't fit traditional centers at all)
2. John Collins makes a lot more money than him and John Collins can't play PF anymore

Sexton for WCJ?

I like WCJ but this is the wrong direction. If we trade Sexton it is for an asset for the rebuild, or for someone who is very clearly a wing. Hendricks, Collins, and Yurtseven can soak up the non-Kessler center minutes. In fact, I suspect Hardy will want to play Hendricks at center once he is more physically developed.

[mg]

Orlando should actually try to acquire both Kessler and Sexton to fill 2 holes. Kessler could be a nice fit next to Banchero and an upgrade over Goga. Sexton would be a definite upgrade over Anthony.

With that said I predict the Magic just sign someone like D'Angelo Russell in FA.

Orlando should see if Dame is remotely interested in playing there. If so, he'd be a great fit on paper with Paolo. Plus the defensive tag-team of Suggs and Isaac can make up Dame's weaknesses there.

Probably cost Franz and a few picks. Not too bad imo. Milwaukee might play ORL in the 2nd round, so the irony of this happening afterwards would be amusing.

Sexton + Collins + Picks for Fox + Huerter

Fox and Huerter fit the concept the Jazz want to employ both in roster construction and play-style.

The Kings aren't going anywhere with Sabonis/Fox while Sabonis is a significantly better player than Fox and makes sense to build around the Central Hub versus a player like Fox.

I somewhat agree about Fox not fitting Sabonis but don't see the Kings trading him unless they get a star back in a deal (but don't think they can tbh). They already picked Fox over Haliburton.

Maybe Collins + Sexton for Barnes + Huerter + Vezenkov + pick? That would make sense if they lose Monk in FA. Collins has shortcomings but I do think he could thrive next to a Sabonis type. Plugging Collins into a lineup with lane cloggers such as Kessler/Capela/Okongwu obviously has not worked.

That is a terrible idea. You don't trade a young guy like Franz plus picks for a 34yr old Lillard.

A young guy that dropped to a career low in 3 point shooting-by ALOT and wasn't nearly as effective as last year. Everything he does, Paolo does better and you need to give something to get something.

Magic need an actual shot-maker at PG. I'm not saying it HAS to be Dame (mostly cause I'm not sure he'd wanna go there) but they need to get someone there in the off-season. Cash in some of those picks/players that they have.

Fox and Sexton are similar players with Fox being significantly better IMO. If you're making a move based on fit, you need a better fit coming back or someone waiting in the wings to take over.

On defense he is (i think)

He definitely is better defensively. I prefer Sexton's offensive game though.
