Incredible.

Did y'all see this? 1 armed hoopster.

Has committed to Northwestern State.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I would much rather have that lack of defensive combo coming off the bench than vs mainly starters. Bickerstaff will still mix up the lineups

Lot of versatility with the guards you have.

Cardinal Sin.......lying about sports.

 

[dtgold88]

He has no market. No teams can afford him or trade for him. He could bet on himself with QO

It's 3 years, right? I could see him taking QO over that.

It's 3 years, right? I could see him taking QO over that.

On the podcast, Fedor said it sounds like a 3 year offer maybe a player option for 3rd year. So $13M/year or so

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah.

I have a hard time believing he wouldn’t get better offers next summer assuming he shows he is the same player he was 2 years ago.

agree. 2 years, $40 mil might not be a bad way to go for both. But if it's 3 I'd take the QO if I was him, assuming he believes he'll be healthy.

 

[dtgold88]

I don’t know.

Don’t love the fit with those 2. Especially defensively.

No doubt not the best fit, but team was playing well early last season. Mobley and allen help a lot. And that was without Levert and Agbaji.

 

[dtgold88]

A worse version of dame and mccollum. And we saw what that did for them

But CJ/Lillard did not have Allen and Mobley.

 

[DJ Fieri]

3 years and 40 million would be a heck of a bargain for Sexton.

No way he takes that though. If so.....fire your agent.

 

[DJ Fieri]

But CJ/Lillard did not have Allen and Mobley.

But, CJ and Lilliard was better so there's that.

 

[dtgold88]

You think Sexton comes off the bench?

I have long believed that could be his ideal role. Instant offense 25 minute a game type.

Would be a 6th man of the year contender if so.

It's so hard to say. Not sure I'd bet against Sexton if he was told he needs to win the job...... and team looked good in the short time he played last year.

However, though an even smaller sample size, the lineup of Garland, Levert, LM, Mobley and Allen looked really good in the play in game.

 

[dtgold88]

Kind of like Clarkson.

I think sexton is much better than Clarkson and young enough to improve.

Just my opinion.

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah I do. I actually heard LaVert is penciled in the starting 2. Sexton may get more minutes but the 6th man role is probably his best role for this team

I think if told he can try to win the job he'd win it.....but you could be right and he'd be better suited as 6th man. Either way, guessing he plays down the stretch when needed.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Ben Simmons taking 3s videos have been replaced with pictures of Harden doesn’t look so fat right here.

 

[dtgold88]

But, CJ and Lilliard was better so there's that.

Dame is better than Garland. Not sure how much better CJ is than Sexton. And Sexton young enough to improve (as is Garland)

In his last healthy season, only Kyrie, Curry, Kawhi, Lavine and Jokic put up the numbers sexton did in ppg, apg, FG% and 3 point%

When was his last healthy season.....his rookie season when he played all 82 games?

It is tough.

Have to buy into a role.

But, I can tell you that many coaches believe in having a high end scorer coming off the bench. Even when that guy might be your 2nd or 3rd option in your best lineup.

I think it makes a lot of sense here given the fit with Garland.

But it only works if Sexton buys in. And that is a tough sell to a young player working for his first big contract with multiple 20 PPG seasons under his belt.

As a scorer?

I take Sexton.

Everything else?

Give me CJ.

CJ has always been underrated.

 

[dtgold88]

When was his last healthy season.....his rookie season when he played all 82 games?

He's pretty much been healthy every season but the last one. Played in all 82 as a rookie. 65 (out of 66, I believe) in year 2. 60 of 72 in year 3 (the one I was referring to). Likely plays more games that year if in contention.

Never know, but he's never come across as a guy who would not do what is asked of him. Now if he was coming off the bench AND not playing in crunch time......?
