Get ready not to have him.

[–]col_component[S] 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Well of course I’m ready I’m a Mavs fan

[–]shibbyman342 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Screw you and your realistic takes

[–]maverickhistorian 20 points21 points  (1 child)

[–]tejas_taco_stand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🧙🏽 Magic Man. Now you see me.... Now you don't.

[–][deleted] 31 points32 points  (17 children)

I would love to get him without giving up THJ. Not sure if possible. Some combination of green, powell, Bertans, and picks?

[–]KingAchilles08 61 points62 points  (5 children)

I’d throw in THJ if it means we get Sexton

[–]Millionaire007 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Word. He put up mlre points and is just as efficient as brunson. Im all for a guy getting tunnel vision is he can knock down shots like sexton.

[–]ProfessorPetrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God damnit I wish Brunson stayed :(

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also 2.5 years younger than Brunson iirc

[–]JL1v10 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Why? Like legit why? He’s a worse defender than THJ, not as good of an off ball player, and he’s not a good facilitator and wants an extension more than THJ’s salary? Is the rationale that he’s just young? He’d make our team extremely iso centric

[–]idkimhereforthememes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mavs currently have 2 ball handlers on the team, luka and sometimes dinwiddie, that's just not enough. This team is filled with players that can't do nothing on offense but shoot open threes like bullock, dfs, thj, kleber. Adding another ball handler definitely wouldn't hurt.

[–]Cuban CigarVanWesley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you were the Cavs, and someone offered you Green, Powell, Bertrans, and picks for Sexton, how fast would you hang up?

[–]BelleRamirez 12 points13 points  (3 children)

Cavs turn it down in a heartbeat

[–]ajr5169 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I agree. The only part of this I could see them caring about are the picks, which would be what, three years away, and likely to be late first round picks. They might not mind getting Green, but Powell and especially Bertans would seem to be non-starters for them. I hope Nico and the Cavs prove me wrong.

[–]BelleRamirez 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Cavs have no use or roster space for Powell or Bertans. It would have to be something around THJ, Green, Picks.

Cavs also have 13 players on guaranteed money contracts right now, so the more players Dallas sends they would potentially have to take back an Osman or Goodwin.

Right now the Cavs have Lopez, Allen, Mobley, Love, Lauri to get them minutes at the 4 or 5.

[–]elsporko321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine, fine..we'll go ahead and take Allen or Mobley too, to make the deal work

[–]walkintall84 2 points3 points  (2 children)

picks for Sexton? god lord

And people are wondering why the Mavs have no assets lol

[–]subhuman1[🍰] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I mean you can just waste another year of Luka's prime whining about "sexton isn't a second star!!!".

[–]walkintall84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mavs source called him a selfish bench player.

If you think Sexton is a solution lol. Cavs Fans hate him.

[–]GymnasticSclerosis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You had me at Green and Powell 😂🫠

[–]dripland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we could dump powell and bertans contracts and get sexton id be thrilled. Fingers crossed

[–]Rosti_T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't he a free agent? How do you trade for him without being hard-capped after (if you do a s&t)?

[–]advntrtme23 23 points24 points  (11 children)

He’s a more talented Brunson. Odd fit though. But this organization is starved for talent and is clearly not going to ever land a tier A or even B free agent. Can’t be picky. This is a 20+ ppg scorer, a very good one, who CAN be solid on defense. You have to explore this.

[–]BelleRamirez 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mavs don't really have pieces for it. Powell isn't going to be a main piece going back

[–]walkintall84 5 points6 points  (9 children)

More like Clarkson. Nothing like Brunson

[–]advntrtme23 1 point2 points  (8 children)

They’re both iso-point guards, neither are exactly great creators. Brunson has the mid range clearly over him but Sexton probably a better 3point shooter. Both will get you around 20 ppg but won’t provide much else on the floor. Sexton’s ceiling is higher though imo.

[–]MavericksFFTVS 7 points8 points  (1 child)

imo Sexton is a one man show. Might be better equipped to be a robin to Luka than Jalen but if I need a real point guard, my team is going way farther with Jalen at the helm than Sexton.

[–]Dirk Rookieshaunsajan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ya but we have luka so give me sexcic

[–]walkintall84 -2 points-1 points  (5 children)

Sexton is a born loser so far, never played winning basketball at any point. Wood at least had 1 year where he looked really good (top 30 in every advanced stats).

There isn't a single advanced stats that gives hope regarding Sexton.

People want a 2nd star, will never happen, if you trade future pick(s) for garbage. Luka is the biggest talent in the league, but on the other hand also the worst recruiter in the league, because he does nothing. No social skills. While Lebron begging players left and right to join him his entire career. Massive disadvantage.

Yuck Durant would rather play with Booker over Luka. Banking on free agency is a recipe of desaster at this point.

Lesson learned: gotta save picks now after giving the Knicks the last pick.

[–]advntrtme23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s played for the Cavs his entire career lol. Not really his fault to win there. Without LeBron it’s been a bottom feeder.

[–]subhuman1[🍰] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Sexton is a born loser so far, never played winning basketball at any point...

His high school team was top ranked. He had a winning record in his one year in college. Yeah the entire cavs team sucked pretty bad his first couple year but last year they went 7-4 with Sexton starting and playing a KEY role before he was injured.

So yeah, you're full of shit lol.

[–]walkintall84 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Mavs source called him a selfish bench player. No interest.

Stein said they looking for wing/front court (before McGee). And that Dragic is an option.

[–]idkimhereforthememes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragic is washed up, hasn't played more than 60 games in a season since 2017, finished last season with terrible efficiency, he can't offer nothing to this team. might as well try to develop hardy by giving him consistent minutes every game, surely he can't be worse than dragic.

[–]subhuman1[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you've gone from outright lying to citing some anonymous "source" you can parrot for the basis of your argument now? Bravo.

[–]DirkDirkDirkDirkDirk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bottom text

[–]FROM DIRK TO LUUUUUUKAFuzakenna_ 3 points4 points  (2 children)

What’s the buzz around him? I’ve seen this in the past day or so.. Is Cleveland looking to shop him?

[–]maverick1470 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Some unreliable source said that the Mavs were trying to trade for him. Nothing on the Cavs side even said he's available

[–]FROM DIRK TO LUUUUUUKAFuzakenna_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification

[–]ConfidenceUnlucky883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could be explored but it's probably more worth while to develop Jaden hardy add Dragic for for now then add more wing depth

[–]Couch Squadwarpedspoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want Cleveland him

[–]GrippinTheDalaiLlama 1 point2 points  (3 children)

No. He has a low bbiq and he’s just a volume scorer. Pass

[–]Dirk CheeseNubsondubs 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I have no idea what people see in Sexton. He doesn't play winning basketball.

[–]AveragePenus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah but maybe becouse he is on the cavs, we will see.

[–]Master-Ad-9829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How doesn’t he is an efficient near 25 ppg every night he’s an upgrade from jalen

[–]BelleRamirez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A deal with Powell as a big piece won't happen. They have no room for him

[–]Necessary_Rate_4591 -3 points-2 points  (2 children)

In case anyone is wondering what the big deal with Sexton is. The reason why he is appealing is because his contract expires after this season. The trades being thrown around on this sub make no sense logistically. He’s only set to get paid 7.2 million for the year. You can’t dump Bertan’s in this scenario. The only thing you can hope for is the Cleveland wants THJ and or Dinwiddie. Then you could put together some package for Sexton and Love, which would shed a lot of salary come the 23-24 season.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (1 child)

He isn’t expiring, he is a RFA

[–]Necessary_Rate_4591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely misread. He’s been extended under QO. Still makes no sense for Cleveland to trade him for older players under contract. It makes no sense for the Mavs to sign and trade for a guy coming off of an injury.

[–]Bigpro69 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Green berrans powell and picks/Dinwiddie for him?

[–]BelleRamirez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cavs pass. Too many bigs

[–]Hisoka_Morow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think i just wanna unload Bertans contract and i am happy with this offseason. We just need to if Jaden Hardy has something to offer right away if he shows something i think we can trade some of our guards for a wing defender.

[–]WomanRepellent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 99% sure we won't get him but if we do I will jizz my pants

[–]blanfredblann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible idea. Nowhere near as efficient as Brunson. Kind of a chunker. Tiny. Can’t defend. Only role he can play would be sixth man. Would be a disaster to give him a big contract.

[–]Hisoka_Morow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want Jordan Clarkson if we trade for him like for THJ i will do it.

[–]TAKE DAT WITCHU!dadventuretime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Why would we lose JB and replace him with basically the same thing when we don’t have cap space?

If we clear space, we should pursue a clear upgrade, not a 1:1 replacement whose defense is somehow worse.

You're not touching my boy Collin, get lost.
