What's the Next Move?

Ehh, he certainly played well and I'm not going to bag on him, but the entire game was a blowout and he put up stats in a blowout.

Hopefully games are actually close and we can see Sexton truly make winning plays and make others better. I'm doubtful that's a thing he can do consistently, but the way some people here speak of him, he should be capable of that.

Maybe we can work out some line up when Sexton can play some 3 on 5. He seems to flourish then.
 
And I'm not saying if Sexton fails he sucks, but this is his time to really prove himself as a starting PG. He should be ready to take the reigns and elevate the team, not just put up stats.
 
Kuzma might be the only FA we could really look to be after this off-season based on age/timeline. But he's just "meh" from most advanced stats standpoint and I think he would cost A LOT.

What contending teams, that will be so for awhile, are coming into situations where they will be forced to resign core peices to big contracts, causing cap issues, that also have talented young pieces they could move? Dyson Daniels type situations that @Saint Cy of JFC has talked about?

NO, MEM type teams..........

I hope certain posters take into account the roster he will be working with post trade and not use Mike stats with a better roster to compare Collin with though.......

Certainly, but the starting lineup is the same that Conley was working with...

I doubt we will be putting 48 minutes of great ball on the court, but the starting lineup should not be giving up huge insurmountable leads early. They did that in the 2nd half of the Wolves game.

Here's another thing: IF Sexton is actually good, this trade shouldnt make us that much worse.

Still think you had to deal Clarkson to truly be bad enough to get past the Indys/Orlandos.

So on one hand I hope Sexton fails so the team can lose more, but I also hope he is good enough to elevate the team and have actual value as a starting PG.

Disagree here.. because we lost a lot of depth. Expecting the team to not take a dip because Sexton will play an additional 10 minutes a night isn’t realistic. Whose replacing the other 50+ minutes… and yes, I was too lazy to actually look up what the actual numbers are.

Conley is out. More minutes + starter role to Sexton. Remove the safety net, time to grow up. Push Lauri to become the team leader by sending out the previous one.

Sure, Lauri can take an even bigger role on court and take even more shots. But he's still 7ft and needs someone to pass him the ball, create screens and windows etc.

In the locker room, vocality, mentorship etc. - peoples' personalities don't change. Expecting them to is a recipe for both personal and team failure.

And was that because of Sexton as you seem to imply?

He will have to wait until next year. There are like 25 games left of the season. Scoot I guess is best case scenario for a PG to partner up with Lauri.

You are adding things that I did not say.

…and yet you did.

Bruh, I said not that much worse and you took it as me saying the team wont dip at all.

I fully expect a dip and I clearly said we arent putting out 48 minutes of good ball. Learn to read.

And I am saying that there will be a large dip because we downgraded across a larger bucket of minutes, and it won’t necessarily be Sexton’s fault.

So as the resident Sexton hater; what type of dip is acceptable in your mind that you won’t be bashing on him every chance you get?

We got pretty good play out of him and THT last night.
