I'd still rather have Ayton though. Maybe we sign Sexton and trade Grant for Ayton. A lineup of Cade, Sexton, Bey, Murray, Ayton would at least be fun to watch develop.

I think the Cavaliers are going to want something in return for him if he's on a reasonable deal so the only way that you'd be able to land him without sending pieces out would be to give him a max or a near max contract. Ayton is also going to get a max extension too so you'd likely be investing around 4 yr/$100M into Sexton and 4 yr/$137M into Ayton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be too concerned about his knee, it was a torn meniscus, not an ACL. Based on reports the Cavaliers are interested in bringing him back for around $20M per year. So the only two ways you're realistically acquiring him are via S&T or if you max him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 If Lavine/Beal sign their extensions early then Brunson, Sexton, and Simons should all get a boost as the only three guards on the market that can score. Pretty weak class for free agents, only Ayton/Bridges look like guys that are basically guaranteed for max or near max money. I'd guess Sexton/Brunson get the next highest deals and then it's just Simons and role players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Really looking forward to summer league this year. Kuminga, Wiseman and Moody all should be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor Kings love Murray, would love to trade Grant to Portland for 7 and come away with Ivey and Mathurin. That would be ideal.

Steady as she goes You guys don't really have any huge contracts on your books or anyone worth extending on a significant deal anytime soon. Plus Detroit isn't really a free agent destination. I wouldn't max out Sexton but I think he's a good fit with Cade if it's a reasonable contract like 18-20M APY. Ayton I think would be worth a max/Grant swap. The player you land at 7 in a best case scenario is an Ayton level player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
