Collin Sexton traded to Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic

[Saint Cy of JFC]

This is a blatant tank move, while strengthening a team competing against the Jazz for lottery position.

Aka genius

We paid a 2030 second rounder to increase our odds at AJ/Booze/Peterson and will make our young players better in the process

 

[fishonjazz]

Sell the franchise. We are done.

We thought Luka was bad, then this? Crippling.

Dude, this isn't a franchise altering trade.
It's a stupid nothingburger trade done during a slow time of year that just happened that will be discussed for a day.

If the discussion is triggering for you then just come back tomorrow and it will all be over

You can't be serious.

We've spent years dangling a guy (and finding no takers) who's suddenly some difference maker? Please.

Haha some wild overreaction to this in this thread. At worst it’s what is being reported. It’s not franchise altering.

Yall watch too much Island couple swap reality TV.

Nobody thinks it’s franchise altering. It’s a bad trade though. We can all agree on that.

We just paid a second plus Sexton for a guy the Suns paid a first to get off of barely 4 months ago.

Well, I really liked Sexton as a player. Hoped we could get something good for him but alas. I wish Sexton the best, especially when he plays the Jazz. Life goes on.

Didn't Austin mutter some **** about stacking good decisions?

Jazz Reportedly Interested In Ty Jerome

Utah may revamp its backcourt, with Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson considered to be trade candidates.

We getting Jerome. The Sexton move today sets it up perfectly

Hope you’re right. If we keep Kessler and Nurkic gets a small role next year then it ultimately becomes a nbd trade that frees up more young player playtime which is the overall goal.

Which everyone would be fine with. What is confusing is why you had to sweeten the deal with a pick.
No one thinks 2nd round picks are more worthless than I do but I just didn't see the necessity of including one in the trade.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Sexton just wasn't a good fit. I think he can good for the right team, but we need higher IQ connectors around our young players. Not to poopoo him that he was bad, just not the kind of player we need for the team around Ace right now.

Jerome is that guy

 

[fishonjazz]

I will admit the inclusion of the pick is weird, but I imagine Charlotte knows what's going down. They are making the Jazz pay a tax for an organic tank that strengthens a tank competitor.

I'm just not crying over a 2nd rounder when the positive of moving on from these placeholder vets (who deserve a chance to play unrestricted for their next contract) is much greater

I can get down with this post.

I do love Sexton on the Hornets backing up Ball. You know he's going to get a real starting chance at some point due to Ball availability.

It is Sexton's market value.

(And that's putting it nicely, because we're talking about the Hornets. His actual market value to real teams may be even lower.)

Didn't Lonzo get traded to Cavs?

 

[fishonjazz]

Isn't that what Jazz just did?
And they got rid of Sexton's money too

Nope they replaced sextons money with nurkics money and lost a draft pick.
Getting one off the garbage pile keeps the pick and saves money. In this trade we didn't save money and lost a pick.

We had to hold him out to lose games. Yeah, he can help a team.

Lonzo. Lamelo is on the Hornets

 

[fishonjazz]

I would be disappointed if we get the same kind of trade for Collins. I think he should have actual value due to his shooting improvements.

You know who else had shooting improvements?
This trade tells me that we ain't getting anything for Collins.

OK Right

Sexton is a small guard
