Shams: Sexton Traded for Nurkic

[PushDaRock]

They want to tank again so Nurk is good for that considering he sucks big time, and he's constantly injured. They also have a lot of guards that need minutes, so moving sexton frees up some space. But paying a 2nd to get the worse player in the trade is madness.

If they wanted to tank, why make the declaration that they won't be tanking this year?

they are tanking, they owe a pick to OKC top 8 protected
just not be so blatant about it, also helps if you put a worse roster out there, see this trade.

I'm just saying it doesn't make much sense to blatantly lie about not tanking anymore instead of just saying they are taking a "patient" wait and see approach.

Yep, this isn't exactly 5d chess, it's pretty obvious what they are doing.

I love how making a bad trade is considered a great move by some.

The league needs to flatten the lottery odds for all non-playoff teams.

Otherwise, we will continue to see teams throw away their players just to ensure that they lose.
