Sure. But it is kinda the island of misfit toys.
You also get ripped to shreds if Sexton keeps getting better and better and your top 10 pick is no better than a role player.....but, sure, I'd love to know what their best offer for him was.
cool....but no one was selecting such a player in that draft and there are now 2 questions you are ignoring...
You trade Sexton for a pick and you are going backwards. Trading a guy that just averaged 24 ppg for a pick just isn’t smart. Now if they trade him after this season and up for a contract extension that makes more sense but not for shit offers like that. You don’t give a guy like that away for an unproven player and likely it wasn’t even a top 5 pick. Do we even know it was top 10? Makes it even worse.
Or how about we acknowledge 2 things.....First, a player can improve on his year 3 season as he gets even older and second, Okoro so far has only played 1 season and not 3. OK, make it 3 things...it's not like there was someone else they should have taken there who'd have been any better as of now.
I mean, if they traded him for a top 4-5 pick in a draft many said top 4-5 could go #1 in most drafts I could see it. Hell, maybe for 7 if they thought Kuminga was that guy. But agree with you as you are hoping you can get a guy who can produce like sexton who already has produced. It's a big risk.
They are a long way from being capped out, though. By the time even 3 of their young guys could have max deals it will be 2024-25 wont it? and that's only if they pay Sexton, Garland AND Okoro max deals. Be a nice problem to have if all 3 were worthy. We also have an owner with an obscene will to win and has never shown that he will not spend whatever it takes to win.
OK...then maybe wait and see where he is after his year 3 season? The other thing to add is if we are discussing the work done by THIS FO in order to have messed up the pick wouldn't there need to be a realistic player they passed on who would be a lot better?
That’s why you have to wait and see instead of giving up. To this point, Sexton has not be surrounded and if he is they are by extremely young players. No to mention, this is what his 3rd coach already. That isn’t talked about enough. Making the playoffs is a huge step for this team if it were to happen but we will also have to look at his fit and his role. The point is that offer (if it was offered) was a terrible offer for a guy still on his rookie deal.
sure did. So? Dan once paid max deals to Lebron, Kyrie and Love AND paid TT $16 mil and that was half a decade ago (as well as $10-14 mil to shump and JR). Thinking he could pay a few max guys again and pay $20 mil to Allen, especially with a cap explosion coming in 2-3 years (TT deal came before the last explosion).
2020 was a weak draft so through 1 season, Haliburton is the only guy I'll say. I think there's a lot of players in the top 10 that are role players. This draft especially the lottery picks (after the top 3) going to look bad 5-10 years from now imo
