Re: Potential free agent targets
Got my roster after my first 2K off-season (lol)
- Fired Casey and signed Fizdale for his grit and grind style
-Drafted Jabari Smith Jr at #4
-Sign and trade Grant/Olynyk (not sure if legal to trade both in that deal) for a maxed Ayton on a 5 year 140 mil deal (wanted that big lob defensive center)
- stole Divincenzo from the Bucks on a 3 year 38 million deal (team option on the 3rd year)
- then took Kyle Anderson for some defense and playmaking on a 3 year 33mil deal (team option on the last year)
- CoJo opted in of course
- let go of F-Jackson, J-Jackson, Diallo but took on Lyles team option for the hell of it.
Hayes/Lee/CoJo
Cade/Divincenzo/Juzang(2nd round two way)
Bey/Anderson/livers
Smith Jr/Anderson/Lyles
Ayton/Stewart/Garza
Think I also grabbed Brazdeikis on a min
Team is young, smart, Athletic, nice blend of athleticism, shooting and defense. Just running a 9 man rotation.

Re: Potential free agent targets
Colin Sexton is an interesting player for sure. He is now out for the season for Cleveland. Last year he averaged 24.3 PPG on efficient shooting numbers for a bad Cleveland team, but is known to be a below average defender. His ideal role is likely a spark plug off the bench a la Lou Williams. He isn't someone I would have been interested in for a big money deal, but if there are no MAX FA available (Ayton or Bridges) and we're looking at adding a solid rotation piece he would be worth considering perhaps at a just slightly above MLE type deal. There won't be many teams out there that can offer more than MLE money to FAs next summer unless its a sign and trade.

Sexton would be great for the Pistons. He reminds me of D.Rose.
Sexton is not afraid of contact, he can shoot well, he does pass the ball but nothing special.
Anyone that can really score the ball next to Cade would be amazing - shooting especially - driving and then kicking to Cade who is set and waiting for an open 3.
Lillard and McCollum dont work well because both are not good defenders. Cade appears to be a PLUS defender with his IQ. Sexton and Cade would be a lot of firepower with above average defense.

I suggested sexton on a reasonable deal when this thread started. And now that he’s injured, the chance of a reasonable deal just got better.
If we can use him off the bench with either Hayes or cade, we’d be good.

I certainly don't love Sexton, but he's worth a flyer on at the right price.... especially because we are so bad at putting the ball in the basket. Of course my opinion could change if any of Josh Jackson, Diallo, or Frank Jackson really play well for us this season and average an efficient 15+ PPG but right now we need some more scoring.

I hope the bulls implode so we can max Lavine.
Cade
Lavine
Bey
Grant
Stewart
That’s a deadly team.

Its a interesting thought for sure, Cleveland was rumoured to be shopping him last off-season and now with the injury they might not match.
I'm also not afraid of a torn miniscus, he should recover fine. At least you know your getting some sort of proven young commodity with your capspace and not a total bust.

Re: Potential free agent targets
I like Sexton but is he too similar to Saben Lee? Saben can play and with some more experience he could be our Sexton-lite for way less money. Didnt he sign a 3 year deal for peanuts?
Could Sexton and Lee play together? I dont think so.
The shorter, athletic, 6th man SG in a PGs body are pretty common in the NBA (Brandon Knight type guys). Just a numbers game, lots of guys are 6'1", not so many 6'6".

Saben has potential to be 80% of what Sexton is so I don't think I do that swap or sign Sexton. What we don't need is a high salary sixth man like Sexton is likely projected to be. At least not yet, we're a year away from being year away in that regard
