re: 2021 NBA Trade thread BREAKING: Bagley to Pistons in 4 team deal

Honestly, from reading the last few days, I think there is a general inflation of Fox’s facilitation/PG skills, and an under appreciation of McCullum’s ability to organize an offense.

Fox is better, yes, but there are some asterisks with what has been required for his type of offensive facilitation to be successful(letting him dominate the offense), and for McCollum, he can play more of a point guard role than he did as a starter in Portland.

Basically if you want a much better version of Graham, with a decent bit better three level scoring/playmaking, and is quietly elite at PnR, that’s what you will get in McCollum, which to me is honestly a much better fit than what Fox currently is as a player for this roster and has been the last few seasons

if we wanted Sexton this seems like our chance to try and hop in this trade

We can’t trade our 2023 first with the chance that we could lose both our 2022 and the Lakers pick. And with many of our future picks tied to swaps, it’s a little risky to trade those future picks as well. 2024 we have swap rights with the Bucks, and the Lakers pick could be deferred. The 2025 Bucks pick is the cleanest and safest to trade most likely. We sort of handcuffed ourselves in a way.

assuming a straight up NAW/ Heurter swap is not what the Hawks are interested in.

If that's the case.. Yeah you send him.
Bye naw

I guess the guys who wanted him can kiss that dream away.

Can’t wait to see how many millions of dollars Klutch costs Sexton this offseason

Moving to Klutch is what you do when your current agent tells you things you don't want to hear, like how a good but not great, smallish guard coming off an injury isn't going to command a max contract.

Basically. What sucks for Sexton is he's exactly the type of 2nd tier guy Klutch eventually ignores but they can make a sales pitch (aka, lie)

Yeah, David Fisher threw this together

Cavs: Levert
Pacers: Rubio, Top 10 protected 2023 Pels 1st
Pels: Sexton

I can't think of who says no assuming the Pacers have backed off their crazy 2 1sts demand. Maybe the Pels if they like another target more.

The main issue is the Pels would have to clear a roster spot to make this move and with Sexton hurt you're sending out a 1st and not getting any better now.

Don't think we can trade the 2023 pick given both 2022 picks are committed in trades. Anyway, that seems like a lot for Sexton unless we are comfortable with his contract extension expectations.
