That is a vastly different statement than what I said.
Let’s make it sweeter/weirder
Renegotiate ‘27 so it’s a *drum roll* SUPER SWAP (where the Lakers get the worst of the Jazz/Wolves/Cavs/Lakers pick [no protections]) and their ‘28 pick (+ #17 this year and hopefully any 2nds years down the road).

As of right now if the board fell the way I think it does I think we’d probably take Carter.
I don’t think it’s vastly different but okay.
It would have to be Rui right? D'Lo would have to opt in.
I think he's likely to end up a 2nd-unit guy, giving him a better opportunity to be hidden on defense against backups.
Yeah, so it's probably not going to happen becuase Rui has 2 years left.
The Lakers aren’t a second apron team at the moment.
It would have to be something like Rui/JHS/17 + protections off our 2027 first + a future first. They get Sexton/29/32 back.

I'd put protections on that future 1st, but I could see the Jazz making a leap like that for someone they really want. At this stage of the rebuild, the Jazz need something meaningful from this draft.
100%. I think this is role that exists in the NBA and it's what's most realistic. I don't believe he can only be a superstar or out of the league. Space exists between those two outcomes.
I’d trade up to 3 for Sheppard, up to 5/6 for Castle, and up to 7/8 for Williams if needed.
Yeah, and maybe get back a 2nd rounder from Detroit? IF they have any.
It would be kind of a sneaky way to unload Collins without it looking like an asset dump since you can sell it as buying the 5th pick.
I could see that. "We'll give you a protected '25 or '26 FRP, but we need you to take Collins." Detroit could also send back Isaiah Stewart in some arrangement.
Man if we are selling Sexton let's just stay the **** out of the undersized guard business.
Ehh. Yeah, ~sure. There is just a lot of value to vacuum up in an era where they’re probably undervalued. Electric, instant offense off the bench I would argue is of real value (the stakes are lower in those minutes, the benefits of sustaining offensive production are higher, and the risks of bad defense are lower).
Sexton seems like a hot commodity right now.
A writer covering the Raptors threw out this package:
Sexton/29/32 for Brown/19/31

Ehh, still. If the idea is that we are selling off all non-Lauri vets who could help us win too many games, we might as well aim for the "optimal" build. If Dillingham is there at 29 it's different, but I'm not taking him top 20.
Yeah, that's dumb as hell.
I just dont see how we trade Sexton when every mock trade values him as a 6th man.
I think Sexton is legitimately a near all-star player next year if he's given 16 shots per game. I would hate to deal him for a mediocre first rounder.
