Unless there is more to this it is a terrible deal

There has to be more to it than this.

Trading someone good for someone not good and attaching a pick. #fireaustin

I don’t understand this unless we are putting some bigger trade together to the Lakers who need a big man.

 

[Elizah Huge]

No shot we just paid a second to swap Sexton for Nurkic… right???

 

[NUMBERICA]

This is probably the one vet I would’ve kept if I had to choose so it would make sense that we’re attaching assets for a total ****ing corpse.

Nurkic??? WTF

Seems like nothing more than a salary dump to me unless Walker is heading out.

 

[fishonjazz]

WTF? Why? I love Sexton and he is good. I hate Nurkic and he sucks. And we give a pick?

 

[cctrackstar]

we were overloaded with undersized combo guards and we were short on centers. that is all.

Dumb thing about that is that sexton is expiring iirc. So a salary dump is idiotic

this is however, a win now move.

Lulz

Welp they don't have to play Nurkic much. He can take the few Eubanks minutes. They obviously don't want to give minutes to the Collins and Sexton vet types. The "tank" continues but with the young kids getting all the minutes. Kinda sucks to give up a pick though.

This is true but doesn't mean that you have to make a horrible trade.

 

[fishonjazz]

From that Andy Larsen tweet: Nurkic is expiring at $19M, like Sexton, but is over 30, a backup C, and Jazz had to give up a pick to make the deal.
wtf

Gotcha... So were tanking..(?) Probably not a huge market for an expiring contract.

No it isn't. If you want to win now then you want better players. Sexton is a better player than Nurkic
We could just pick up Eubanks or Yurtseven and either player helps us win as much as Nurkic does lol.

Having thought about it some more though, maybe you were joking/being sarcastic. I will give you the benefit of the doubt
