We really salary dumped an expiring salary for another expiring salary and we had to send out a second-round pick for the worse player? This is horrendous.
Collin Sexton traded to Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic
- Thread starter Elizah Huge
- Start date
This is a tank move. Nurkic ****ing blows.

Maybe this is this year's Drew Eubanks. I there an elderly guard we can now acquire?
I literally cannot believe this. Refreshing for addendums/edits.
The only reason to do this is to ethically tank and even still, yeesh. Preeetty sure Nurkic makes more money, too.

I guess this helps the tank (nurkic averaged 18 minutes per game and sucked in those minutes last year and only played in 35 games so he might also be injured?) Yay?
Im gonna miss watching Sexton play. One of the few things I enjoyed while watching the jazz last year. Im 100% certain to not enjoy watching nurkic play. This better result in more losses. That is the only possible benefit of this trade

It’s a good second too. The better of the Jazz/Clippers in 2030.
Positives about the deal:
- Jazz made the team worse to help the tank again next year
- Hornets got better and they are one of the teams that could have been in the tank race
- Austin Ainge isn’t worried about winning every deal to the detriment of the team

I’m a Bama guy and I like Sexton.
But…. We need a Nurkic so much more than a Sexton right now. We have so many small combo guards. I’ve never been a Nurkic fan, but the guy almost averaged a double double last year in less than 21 minutes a night. And if we do struggle this year, Nurkic might be a hot commodity at the deadline for a team desperate for a big man.
I can’t comprehend why we had to attach a 2nd rounder though…

when you get rid of players with championship heart it doesnt help the team
So far, it is not looking like we are building the roster to win right now so I guess I’ll celebrate that. I simply cannot wrap my head around sending a pick to pay more money for a worse player, though.
