It's as silly as the guy who wanted to draft Dillon Jones.

I wasnt the one proposing the Dame/ Sexton deal, but anything to get out of that Dame contract.

It's silly to make the comparison between known commodities and unknown ones. And I say that as someone who didn't want Dillon Jones.

would be incredibly foolish to give up our only tradable first just to move Dame's contract one year before its a very movable expiring deal

Agree, but you do get 2 productive players instead of Dame out with injury, and then you get massive cap room.

Still not my favorite additions, but the argument could be made for it.

He'll still have that 4 step shuffle into his jumper to fall back on.

Ainge bringing his kid in to co-GM is already off to a rousing start.

Ainge did great in Boston and his first year in Utah. Been a mess ever since.

That is way more than I would’ve paid him. Im not sure anyone knows what he is other than a mid 3 and D guy

Sexton isn’t good. Everyone except a few on here already understood that.

He played 12 minutes there last game and scored 3 points. That’s a lot for a non factor

Not sure why that couldn't have waited 12 months? If he breaks out next season so be it.

It’s an overpay but Houston revenues in that market are strong.

Also, Shams and Windy will tell us tonight it’s a great contract slot for a Giannis trade down the road

Rough news for Beasley. Hopefully he’ll be able to rebound from this. :wave:
