Collin Sexton traded to Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic

[stitches]

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

If we had to attach a scond to Sexton to move him, can you imagine how many firsts we will have to add to move Clarkson?

There is always a bright side.

No there isn’t.

 

[slc]

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,

The second round pick is five years away
Plenty of time to get it back

 

[NUMBERICA]

Still need front court depth.

For what?

 

[Elizah Huge]

Unless there is a bigger deal happening this is the worst trade we’ve done since the Favors salary dump.

 

[Bodhi]

Sell the franchise. We are done.

We thought Luka was bad, then this? Crippling.

I think they end up keeping Clarkson and just buy him out at the deadline.

Regardless of the rationale and whether/how it was justified, this sucks. Sexton was fun to watch and was one of the few guys who put his whole heart and soul into to every minute of every game.

Also, 4D Chess move. We traded him to a team we are in direct competition with to tank. It's not a bad trade

It’s been confirmed it’s 2030.

Then it appears he’s edited his post twice (back to 2030, from 2031, from 2030).

I like Sexton too but if he plays zero defense and we are stockpiled at undersized guards it may be OK

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

We going to sign Jerome to a 4 year deal. Sexton had to be moved

If this heralds some Kessler for Reaves trade then it becomes so much worse…

And it really doesn’t make sense whatsoever unless there are other moves planned…

It's makes 100% sense imo.

Sexton needed to be off the team to give the young guards more minutes/touches without having to **** with Sexton contract year.

Jazz needed a back up 5. Nurkic isn't good enough to drive winning, but he's an adult in the room and will help keep Walker tough.

Plus you gave Sexton to a team that challenged Utah in tanking. We made a tank competitor better.

Sexton had to be dealt. Just have to accept that Sexton doesn't have value, which the FO has been unable to do. Kudos to Austin for accepting reality and doing what had to be done

Don't include the pick at least. Sheesh.

I feel like AA could call up quite a few teams in the league and be like "we will give you a good young player and you give us a crappy old guy" and find some takers.
No need for the pick imo

 

[fishonjazz]

Your takes have been awful on this imo. It's a move that had to be done

So you think this trade makes or breaks (aka moves the needle a bunch) the jazz?

 

[AK47]

Sexton simply wasn't worth anything unfortunately.... Sexton probably wins Charlotte 3-5+ games. I don't think there's much more to it.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Had to be done

Bad trade, but it looks like @Tremendous Upside was right

Thank you.

This trade makes perfect sense in the bigger context. If they were going to get rid of Sexton while getting at least something useful (in theory) back, this is what it takes to do it.

Fans around the league are outraged because they mainly remember Collin as a dynamic jitterbug Cavs guard scoring 20+ ppg. I can understand that... he's been out of the limelight for a while, and people generally don't know ball. What I don't understand is why Jazz fans are just as outraged. We've actually watched him play for several years.

Other teams have watched as well, and this is how much actual professionals and decision makers value Sexton.

Apples and oranges. The Favors trade was really painful but at least it made sense.
