4/100?

Yeah... it would be kinda tricky... they won't be good, but it will be hard for them to be bad either. They are too deep...

They might be tanking. Is TJ McConnell going to be their creator? They might as well trade Siakam too...

It is... but... I guess they chose a path and they are executing. They pretty much have decided that without Giannis they have no future in the next few years and if they are keeping him, they better go all in for the next few years so...

My beef with this thing is... for this to make sense... you need both Jazz FO and Charlotte FO to believe it(that Nurkic>Sexton)... and to believe that the other one believes it. The Hornets got a first for taking Nurkic just 5 months ago. They must have convinced the Suns that they think...

This just seems way too convoluted. I think the truth is much more simple - the Ainges like Nurkic A LOT MORE than most of us.

You can just cut him if he doesn't agree to buy out. You won't save much/any money but you will save the second... if that's what you want.

I think I've come to the conclusion that they just really like Nurkic. No other explanation sounds reasonable to me. In essence, with this trade instead of Sexton buy out they told us that they value having Nurkic at his salary more than having a second round pick.

Meh, can't you rationalize it the exact same way? "it had to be done.. you clear the path for Hendricks, yada-yada, you strengthen direct competitor for high picks... yada-yada... it's just a second or two we are giving up, etc...

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?

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.

I just cannot believe that this was Sexton's value. Go to any forum, any msg board, any reddit. This trade is viewed in similar terms as the Pelicans draft day trade. Now, of course it's not of the same potential consequence, but it's being viewed almost unanimously as a horrible deal for the...

The reality is... this trade won't make or break this team, but holy hell...
