I thought Shai wasn't on the right timeline as their plans tho. Considering Sexton is due to be paid too, this doesn't make much sense.
I'm calling cap!
It certainly feels like misinformation in light of the previous reports.
IMO the SGA trade talk was about them wanting a top 3 pick (maybe a top 4 pick) if they can't get that guy, then they may as well start cashing in. Sexton-SGA is a nice back court. They sure as hell ain't giving up 6, so you add that to Kuminga (ideally Barnes) Kenrich Williams and then they can sign Holmes, Noel etc
The 2nd offer from OKC to CLE which was apparently was turned down was SGA AND 6 for 3. Apparently many consider this a 3 or 4 man draft then a big drop to the next tier. Going from Superstar to potential stars.
SGA is on a sooner timeline to get paid, Sexton is on a sooner timeline to get paid and redundant to Garland whom Cavs like more. Economics certainly play a role for some owners/markets/teams.
If we aquire 3 we can likely get SGA and 6. We could give:
RJ, Obi, Knox, Noel (S&T) and pick 21, 2023 Dal 1st to Cleveland for Sexton, 3, Prince(salary dump)
Then give 3 to OKC for SGA and 6
Then give Sexton, Pick 6, Pick 19, 2023 NYR 1st, 2022 right to swap to POR for Lillard.
Then sign Derozan (if he can fit under cap) or Oubre
Line-up:
Mitch/MLE
Randle/Prince
Derozan or Oubre/Vet Min
Lillard/Quickley
SGA/Lillard
