Trade & FA 2023-24: Sexton On the Market? | ORL Likes Hartenstein?

[mvossman]

THJ/Green/Powell + '25 DAL 1st?

Love his game, much like PJ, his situation was not the best. Good defender, all-around game (jumper/slasher) to add to our youth.

Is he a good defender?  I don't see a lot of evidence for that.  And Atlanta has been in the playoffs in most of his seasons.  Not really comparable to PJ.  I think PJ has been used a lot lately to expect players to come in and be way better defensively than what they were elsewhere.  I don't think that happens all that often.  PJ was a fairly rare case.  Not excited about bringing in someone and expecting a PJ like jump in defense.  

Also, A trade like that means no chance of clearing cap space if we need it (I think we will) to retain DJJ.
