Add in Naji/Diabate and you probably have enough room under the second apron for Exum’s contract..
Sexton required a 2nd be added to dump for another expiring who no one pegs as on court value. He's clearly negative and a guy Dallas shouldn't touch. His only claim to fame was his one man show in Bama and that stupid flex he did in some summer league or preseason game
That trade made so little sense that I’m sticking with it being an unnecessarily delayed extension of the Bailey/Kon going differently than expected.. That makes more sense than anything else I’ve seen suggested:
Nurk is Utah’s third center. Sexton was Utahs best guard. The salary difference wasn’t even enough to justify a second without considering in court talent..
Sexton is a guy that can create his own pretty efficient offense in a large role and offers some playmaking... What Dallas needs.His defense is why he’s available for what he is.
The really good guards won’t be available for a below average starting center.. love Gaff but just being realistic.
Charlotte fans (at least this one) are excited to watch Sexton play alongside LaMelo Ball. You can knock the defense but Luka & Kyrie are comparable defensively, so Dallas committed the same sins.
I have Sexton worth a 1st round pick and agree his value is obscured by the Nurkic trade if viewed in a vacuum and not as an extension of Ace Bailey's value to the Jazz.
Huge stretch to equate the value of Nurkic with Sexton. Forget about the 2nd pick added, no less. Nurkic point blank cost the Suns a 1st to unload and they took back 2 bums (Martin & Micic).
How come Nurkic didn’t cost the Hornets a 1st to unload?
Is Martin & Micic > Sexton?
Martin & Micic > Sexton + 1st round pick?
Martin & Micic > Sexton + 1st round pick + 2nd round pick?
See how absurd it gets?
I have Gafford worth 2nds. He's a decent placeholder center.
Not sure Hornets match with Dallas on players other than Sexton.
And didn't Dallas just bring in Russell?
