I still like Rubio as an option but not sure what his timeline us as of right now. Plus they already know he fits. Revamp the bench a bit and I think their starters stay the same
I would like to think Rubio + Sexton can coexist, that in itself is a huge upgrade for the bench. They can throw them in a lineup with a couple of defensive players bc that tandem isn’t good defensively. There are some questions marks: does LeVert stay on this team? Will Okoro improve enough to stay as the starting SG? What is Sexton’s role? Maybe like you said, they use Sexton as a backup PG and put shooting around him. Still in that scenario LeVert doesn’t fit. They could move him and pieces for a better fit and they still have the MLE
LeBron, after next year. Very in play IMO
He is in play right now if the Lakers have any sense.
If I'm Cleveland I don't give up the assets to trade for him a year early. Give themselves one more year to progress, then add a one year older LeBron at the wing who will be even more amenable to a 'big brother/mentor' role and not just coming in and making himself the alpha.
Sexton for a pick and what else? Lol
Yeah but then he will be 39 and will he still want a new contract. Less risk without a doubt signing him instead of trading but trading for him might make more sense for cap purposes. We have no clue what he is expected to make at 39 though
Obviously I could be wrong but to me in another year LeBron might be willing to start the 'MJ on the Wizards' part of his career, in order to get another ring or two.
Far better might be a stretch, but outside of Jokic the Nuggets have very little (Murray and MPJ would obviously change that equation), and the Ws are basically all healthy now.
Nunn and 1st is trash. I’d rather keep Sexton long-term than give him away for scraps
After seeing Curry out there looking pretty good (in the 2nd half once he got comfortable) and the effect of having Draymond there (he didn't play Denver at all this year) it feels like a gentleman's sweep, but 6 games wouldn't surprise me.
