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

[DowNY]

Lol Cavs trying to control the narrative after the leaks. Too late.

[Capn'O]

but rj is better than kobe at this age. speaking of, was my guy banned already ?

edit - i see. he's still creating terrible threads so no.

He has taken his talents to the GB and let’s say they haven’t been so welcome to him because of his homer takes

well damn. then he'll be banned with the quickness. they won't get the humor out of him that we do.

It's not that they don't get it...

Sounds like the Knicks don’t want Lonzo and we’re not close to getting Sexton

Olynyk would be perfect here, just like Lonzo. He’s a helluva passer too, and can put the ball on the floor n get his own shot. Bringing in him, Zo, Sexton, Luca, and Duarte would be amazing.

I would be SHOCKED if Lonzo gets money here. His rep is that he is afraid of that big man contact while driving to the hole. It is an absolute prerequisite for Thibs that his PG attacks the basket (see Alfrid). Conversely Sexton shoots about 6 free throws per.

Lonzo attempts 1 .2 free throws a game. Not acceptable, let's leave Ball alone.

That's why you play them together and let Lonzo be Bullocks with passing. Bullocks can come back for LGBT+ pride and bench continuity.

you're my guy but you dicked that up.

Exactly, who the fk wants to tie up $20m per on a flawed point guard for 4-5 yrs, who's afraid to go to the hole and draw contact.
FK Lonzo and his $20m.

it's not about age, it's about how many years guys have on their rookie deal. thats why Cleveland is trading him in the first place. thats why SGA doesn't fit okc's timeline. teams aren't ready to pay these guys. has nothing to do with whether a guy is 22 vs 24 years old.
give me four chances in the next two years to evaluate a kid for four years vs one season to decide whether a guy is worth 150 mil.
sexton is worth one pick and some flotsam and jetsam in my world.

If true, very stupid way of doing business for these franchises. You go through the whole draft to find a player as good as SGA. You have tons of cap space that you have to use (salary floor) and you are going to give away a 22 year old guy with all-star potential for a chance to maybe draft someone with the same potential down the road? That makes zero sense. That is why these guys won't just be given away. Especially SGA. In Cleveland's case, it sounds to me they determined that they simply don't like Sexton.

OKC has more assets than they can actually use and while that's nice for them to try to add a superstar or try to move up to the top of a draft the rest of the league knows this too and could just wait out these players as they hit free agency. dangling rookie contract players due for a impending big payday doesn't seem to play out usually, unless I'm spacing out some obvious ones. I'm sure SGA would fit okc's timeline if they could flip their 16 frps into 2 bonafide stars. who knows how real that report is anyway. most teams would love to put the horse before the cart if they could and thats why they would keep assets, so they could do things in the safest manner possible. I guess? what the hell do I know. My main point was sometimes the age of the contract trumps the age of the body.

Good. Let it stay down, you don't want to catch whatever Buzzman and his love for Lonzo caught.

Ian said in the video that he doesn’t know how strongly Knicks interest is.
Shams said what he said.
I’ll go with Shams for now and play the waiting game. CAA.

Good call.
That's the exact problem with so many rookie deals (ala OKC) at some point you have to sign, release or pass that responsibility to another team who may not want to pay out.

Who else is going to outbid us for Sexton?

Can’t imagine Pat Riley is dying for Sexton. Especially since it would take Herro and a pick, and they are already asset capped since they can’t trade a pick till 2028

Sixers aren’t trading for him.

We have the best offer. If we give any more than Knox, Obi, #21 and #32 we got robbed in my opinion. We are only bidding against ourselves

Yeah I think I would go with shams here too. Just hoping we can get a deal done

[GONYK]

It's clear that the Cavs leaked the offer to invite other teams to bid.

It's basically an open call to beat Knox+Obi+1st

If no other team steps up, we'll get him.

[KnicksGadfly]

It sounded too good to be true. The deal was highway robbery

I don't know. Sexton is good but not great, and he's going to get paid.
On the other hand, as stated, you'd think they'd want to move Love as part of it.
And Knicks reason for getting Sexton - besides the obvious of he can actually 3 level score - is the ability to get another player, which Love removes.

To me it is high way robbery. 22 year old guard averaging 24 PPG and in return they get two busts in Obi and Knox, and a first round pick that won’t amount to anything most likely. I am pretty sure Cleveland can get something better than that. the heat is reportedly offering Tyler Herro, who is much better than our whole package. We probably have to give up more. I would just hand over our 21st pick as well, and maybe a top 10 protected pick in the future

Shoot, is there a source for that? Those dumbasses in Miami should have just traded for Harden in the first place…

Ian sounds out the loop man. Lol FO on lockdown.
Dude said last Lonzo talk he heard of was end of the season. Lol

No way Don Leon, and WWW, give them 2 picks in a loaded draft.

Even that offer is too steep.
Take away that #32 pick, at least.

Brock Aller is going to bend Dan Gilbert over a table and get this done and not give up too many assets.

Not my best joke, but I'd bring Bullocks back for bench depth.

Though I wonder if Bullocks efficiency goes down when his minutes do. I'd look up stats, but I'm lazy. I know he looked less good with less minutes 2 years ago with the Knicks, but he was also coming off a significant injury.
