Hornets would do it because they view Sexton as a 20+ PPG scorer they can pair next to Ball and Miller. He's also very cheap, and the Hornets love cheap. They got a jumbo PG and a jumbo wing, so they are a team who can theoretically go in on an undersized 2 guard.
In theory it works but they aren’t looking to pay to add pieces.
Probably, but I feel like with these perennial bottom feeders there's always some point where they want to push to get better immediately.
You mean when he was out all year and rehabbing from ankle surgery? Of course they needed another body. There isn’t always a Zeller out there.
Brother if you dont take a top 3 protected pick in 2025 from the Hornets for Sexton (not to mention the 27 Heat pick) you are braindead.
Nah... that's like getting a cramp from running too hard post covid. It's inevitable.
New ownership has come in. Kupchek will be dismissed this summer for a new GM. They are clearing the decks a bit for THEIR new direction.
Bummer. Thought he was coming back.
Might be a guy you could get with an expiring and a second tbh. I think Portland knows they bought damaged goods there.
Which is another reason we shouldn't trade Yurt as he has little to no value at the moment. At least give him some run and let his trade value grow a bit before selling low
Would be better now (for us) to grab Hayward.
His value is 2.5 million in expiring salary. We aren't growing ish outside of that
Yeah I’m thinking they’d want their options open. Collins is a guy teams turn to once their other plans don’t work and they still need to make a move to justify having cap space. It wouldn’t have a huge benefit to us at that point but you could create a giant trade exception or do some other things.
