Collin Sexton traded to Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Jazz brass must be in love with Walter Clayton Jr.

Well they did trade up for him so yeah

 

[NUMBERICA]

They don't want salary on the books that far out. Is that correct? Who knows.

That is not correct. Sexton is expiring, just like Simons who also makes $9 million more.

 

[RandyForRubio]

Why didn’t we just send Sexton and two or three 2nds to the Celtics for Jrue?

They clearly want the young guards to play. Getting Jrue doesn’t help that goal.

 

[NUMBERICA]

I think trading the pick was unfortunate, but this is more of a trade to create playing time for the young guards. They have to know what they have. Losing a good 2nd round pick sucks, but we have enough 1st round picks that it somewhat neuters the effect.

Buy him out. Solved.

Sending a 2nd to somehow save face for the ‘we’re not [tanking]’ lark is weakness.

2031.

We also own the Clippers 2030 2nd outright per the Eubanks deal IIRC.

It’s been confirmed it’s 2030.

 

[slc]

Buy him out. Solved.

Nurkic is a vet center who does not need a lot of minutes

 

[RandyForRubio]

Buy him out. Solved.

Still need front court depth.

Trade Jrue. But yeah, then they have to do more work.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Uh I wanted to move the vets, but not for more vets. This is so ****ing bad

 

[mhindy]

That is not correct. Sexton is expiring, just like Simons who also makes $9 million more.

If they don't want sexton on the roster, because he's going to take touches away from young guys, and also decided they still need the money to be expiring I really don't think it's that insane.

Very reminiscent of bogey for ko.

In essence they are telling us they value Nurkic at 19M more than a second round pick and whatever savings we could have had if we buy out Sexton.

 

[NUMBERICA]

I’m addressing the inanity of sending a 2nd rounder. We didn’t have to. And we wouldn’t have to give Nurkic - who I could not possibly be less interested in having by around or watching - minutes either.

 

[sip]

What a total waste of Sexton. It is so stupid that we attached a 2nd rd pick to move the better player on an expiring contract.

 

[Basketball Novice]

Is there a move for Kessler on the way? It's really the only way I can see this making sense. Otherwise, just buyout Sexton and save yourself the 2nd round pick.

This is good
Sexton is gone, now Collins and Clarkson
One down, two to go

Just. Buy. Him. Out.

 

[nateboz]

This is like trading a 5 and 20 dollar bill for a 5.

 

[HeatCheck]

At least they didn't have to trade two SRP's and take on a long term contract like the Blazers did to move Simons?

There is always a bright side.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

I don’t get this at all. If Sexton really had negative value, which really doesn’t make sense, then just keep him. Giving a pick to move him for another vet who is an absolute bum is so dumb,
