Just doesn’t have the bbiq you want from a starter. I think that’s a fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decides he should be “the guy” and rots away in Sacramento or something. In all honesty, that is a helluva lowball offer. I like the concept of a short term contract that would actually work in Sextons favor, but offering him 13M per year doesnt even make him a top 25 paid SG in the NBA. That contract offer puts him in the same salary range as Gary Harris and Kentevious Caldwell-Pope. Knowing the Cavs have 16M in cap space left, it could be a negotiating tactic for them (13M) to set the floor so they can work up to that 16M number if Sextons camp started for a ridiculously high 18-20M Edited July 25, 2022 by AkronsWitness 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Question, if Carlos Boozer, Darius Miles, and Ricky Davis never left the Cavs when Lebron arrived, would they have won a title? Keep in mind they had a younger Big Z too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind they had a younger Big Z too. Absolutely not. They’re probably worse. Davis was all empty stats. Darius sucked I don’t even know why you mention him. Boozer was good but always hurt and wouldn’t have put us over the top to beat the spurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebron was more than good enough to match Wade. Shaq was 34 and starting to slow down. Eric Snow Ricky Davis Lebron Carlos Boozer Big Z Then you had Gooden, Marshall, and Flip Murray off the bench.

They didn’t even have to go through the heat. But that team still isn’t beating the spurs. Ricky Davis and his selfish play and no defense made the team worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The year Miami beat Dallas in the NBA Finals. We lost to Detroit that year. It was when Dirk had the label of being “soft” and Wade shot a billion free throws. I think with those guys I mentioned we could have beaten Miami in the East and beat Dallas in the NBA Finals that year.

He was hoping he could set his value at a great rate but no one has done any favors for him. You think a team would offer a contract, just so the Cavs had to decide to slightly over pay for him. Its almost like playing the market has hurt his value, A la Mitchell Schwartz. He wanted to hit the market and set his price but it backed fire on him.

Yeah, him turning down that 100M contract last year turned out to be extremely hurtful for him. With nobody making offers for him, the Cavs have the luxury of squeezing/lowballing him. The more and more this goes on, I highly doubt he accepts a 4/60 type of contract. I wouldnt be surprised if he just played on the 1 year Qualifying Offer, tried to recoup some value with a healthy season and then hit the open market again. In that case it helps the Cavs too because they have a ton of cap space after this season with Love off the books and LeVert off the books. Thats 48M right there. If he plays well, they can resign him to the offer he is looking for since they will actually have the room to do so. (or be jaded by the Cavs and him want to play anywhere but here) Edited August 16, 2022 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger murdock Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 If I am Sexton I would try and get traded ala Lauri last year In the 11 healthy games Sexton was awful last year. Career low assist rates, career high turnover rates, and lower scoring and efficiency numbers as he struggled to adapt to an off ball role. He’s most likely going to be either our 5th best starter or a 6th man. I think playing a year on a QO where your minutes, role, and fit are major questions is a tough risk. If he struggles there’s a chance Rubio and LeVert take virtually all his minutes towards the end of the year, especially if someone like Okoro or Agbaji earn PT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is essentially a FA right now and no other team has even offered him a contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton just gives me Brandon Jennings vibes. He’s going to go to a garbage team like Sacramento and fade out of existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
