Does Sexton Get Traded?

[fishonjazz]

I don't actually think the FO cares to do any moves to tank.

Conley, Donovan, gobert, bogey, Royce, Simone, KO trades, letting Dunn walk, and not signing anyone this offseason say hello.

Yeah I definitely wasn’t talking Sexton/Kessler. I was totally talking about the past.

My best guess is Sexton gets traded at the deadline as an injury replacement for an expiring contract and a first and the tank.

I think that sometimes that past can be used to indicate the current and short term future plan for a franchise. Like in this case. In fact I bet they don't add any players to this team to win more games which in and of itself is a tank move. I also bet they would love to trade Collins and Clarkson for next to nothing if they could in order to secure more losses.
I think they want to see if they can lose enough with the current roster. If they can't lose enough then I bet they are once again sellers at the deadline.

Btw the part of your post I quoted said any tank moves not sexton/Kessler tank moves.

It will be too late to tank by then. Something has to be done prior to the season starting.

Depends on how well the jazz play relative to the other bottom dwellers of the NBA to start the season.

Either trade Sexton and or other vets or realize we're too good to be bottom 5 team. If we aren't fully tanning trade for upside players and/or improve. I don't like standing pat right now.

If you have Sexton and Markkanen you are going to play very well.

The follow up moves we take to try and tank with Lauri will be very interesting. How far is Ainge willing to go? Will be be willing to not get good value for the tank?

We would still be a bottom dweller in the west.

Gotta make at least one more roster tank move before the season starts. It’s a must if we’re building through the draft.

Not without interference. The team as constructed currently could easily make the play in. Not saying it's a guarantee, but they have all the makings of a surprise team.

Easily make the play in? LOL this is the opposite of the "rest easy we will be awful". Which 5 western conference teams are we easily better than? Probably should be 6 if we can easily make the play in.

It has been good to see Cy morph from "we need to trade Collin before his contract is untradeable" to "we need to trade Collin because he is too good and will make us a play in team".

Who in the west do you feel like we are better than that's not named the blazers?

First off, I said "could easily", not "easily".

Jazz can be better than the Warriors, Lakers, Spurs, Blazers, and Clippers. Then there are team who could sustain injuries or arent very good, like the Kings (barely a + team last year despite great health and have to incorporate Derozan) or the Pelicans (Zion's health is always a concern and with no bigs it's an even bigger concern than in year's past)

 

[Coach Ellis]

I understand the interest in tanking, but I think they’re just going to be too good with Markkanen to bottom out. For that reason, I’d prefer to keep Sexton (and Kessler) if possible. Ideally, I’d like to see them trade both Collins & Clarkson, but that just might not be possible.

I'm interested to see his answer.

If we are healthy and those teams are healthy you really think that we can be better? I'm not seeing it.
