Re: Sexton Convo, Update PG: 15 - Knicks most aggressive suitor

[thebuzzardman]

Might as well. Knicks aren't getting SGA and Bouknight will get snatched up before the Knicks strike with their late first rounders.

Read on Twitter

Now we have to do everything Melo wants for Sexland 2.0 in NYC

OKC gonna take Hyland at 16 and break everyone's heart. Them or the Hawks right before the Knicks. Bouknight will be gone also.

Get ready for it.

There’s also the matter of leverage.

Cleveland is on an immediate clock to make a move before they ends up in a tough position roster-wise, which means they are under pressure to sell Sexton for less.

OKC has all the time in the world and another year to move, which means they will only move SGA for top dollar.

From a strictly game-theory/business 101 POV, Sexton is the smarter target, even if he’s the inferior player…. Unless Leon thinks SGA is the target later when OKC is under more pressure.

If I’m Leon, I sit down with my top scouts and Thibs to vet Sexton. If they like him, I go hard with a trade offer that doesn’t include RJ or Mitch.

I'm really surprised to hear that SGA might be on the market at all. The kid is also a legit star in the making and he had to be benched so help out OKC's tank but your right we really don't have the luxury to sit around and wait. Ideally, I'd much rather see if Lavine is interested in NYC than go after Sexton but we've been burned by hoping a free agent chooses us too many times to want us to sit on our hands for another offseason. It's a good thing we've got a bunch of assets cuz I think we might be able to get both. Let's say it costs us Obi+Knox 21+32 for Sexton. IQ, Mitch, RJ, plus dallas and our 2023 pick and possible whomever we draft this year for the SGA package. There's definitely a lot of options on the table depending on who becomes available.

Agree to disagree on RJ/Mitch/IQ for SGA. That deal doesn’t make sense for either side. If Presti is moving SGA, he’ll want a shot at a younger franchise talent or top 3 pick. I’m not sure RJ qualifies. Wiseman + 7 is a far superior offer IMO.

We'll see but I'd take our package over there's. We're offering them way more proven talent than what the Warriors can offer. RJ is already at starter level on a good team and both IQ and Mitch are talented enough be apart of your core. Wiseman was horrendously bad this year and I don't really love any of the talent that falls between 6-13 other than Bouknight and maybe Mitchell.

[FreeSpiritNY]

Lol at people saying he isn’t max worthy. Yet y’all think Rj is the second coming to Michael Jordan.

Sexton averages 24 ppg dude is a absolute beast and I 100% take him and leaving love if I had to and give them two first 1 this year and 1 next year.

This cutie be our future pg when we have a future sf and supposedly our future pf and center. That what you do as a team. Make sure everyone is around the same age so you have a long time to contend and build each year.

Sign me the F up nobody in the draft we get this year will be as good or close to as good as sexton.

I'd rather have Lowry, Conley, or CP3. If we strike out on all 3 well that's just crazy considering our upwards trend and young talent. Cant imagine there are players out there that watched our playoff games and said I'd hate to play there for those fans.

Like I said I trust Leon, Unc wes and co.

This is nothing like signing Steve Francis, Baron Davis, Billips, Kidd, Bibby.

These are 3 middle of the road still very very productive players with plenty of tread left on their tires. Any 1 of them would be a huge, huge welcome addition and move the needle in considerable fashion.

They also all play defense.

Now do they leave their top teams (Suns, Jazz) to play for an iconic franchise that is starting to get they buzz back? We'll see

[HarthorneWingo]

Actually not a bad article from the N.Y. Post summarizing our potential PG options this off season.

Knicks need talent and Sexton is high end talent

He's going to demand 25-30 mil soon with the numbers he's putting up do you really want to cap lock yourself with sexton rj and randle?

I’d make a deal for Sexton if we aren’t getting fleeced but we gotta realize he’s available for a reason.

I don’t know if he is a point guard, considering the reports out of Cleveland. But we gotta hope that Thibs can get rid of the Cleveland stench and knock some sense into him. We have the ball handlers to mitigate his tendency to dominate the ball, but he also has to be willing to change up his style. We’ll also need to protect him defensively. Still, his scoring has come a long way and can be special and just thinking about what Derrick Rose was able to do…

All 3 of those guys are extremely tradeable. There's no such thing as cap locking yourself as long as you don't massively over pay the wrong guys and even then as we saw with the Kemba trade there's always a way out. It's not like the 00's Knicks anymore.

[BBALLER4FR]

Who really thinks Sexton will fit next to Randle? Be truly honest here. We just witnessed Randle beasting next to a passive, garbage pg can who can't shoot (Elfrid) and we watched him shrivel next to a potent, competent veteran pg with good shooting numbers (Rose). How many plays do you think Randle takes off waiting for Sexton to go to the bench before becoming productive? The only reason you would endorse Sexton is to accelerate Randle's departure. No other reason. Also, if you want Sexton so bad, just give Quickly a season starting. He may not reach all the key points of Collin, but for the value of less $$$ and ability to address other needs, Collin Sexton is a big ThankYouButNoThankYou from me.

Randle needs help and it’s clear. None of your talking points here make sense as a reason to not trade for Sexton. Seems like you think Randle is the problem here more than anything

Who beats that team in the East? Bucks? Nets? ATL?

KAWHI is one of the top 2 way (off and def).playoff studs in the NBA, Randle would have pressure removed of being the #1 do it all option, Derozen is a talented scorer. Mitch the enforcer in the middle. RJ improving, Obi improving, IQ another sharpshooter.
