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

[SleepingHero]

So, to me, it’s a hard target to hit. A guy who can play as a traditional big for extended minutes, but doesn’t expect the starting job to be gifted to him upon arrival. Ironically, I think Gafford might’ve been a better fit for them than the Mavericks. but, most of the names we know aren’t going to want to play third big minutes. After the year he just had, I would put Hartenstein on that list of people I would expect to be less than thrilled to go experiment in OKC.

Love love your breakdown. Agree with much of it. 

But that supposed target you're suggesting, a traditional big that is good enough for extended minutes, but doesn't expect a starting job, is there even a guy in the league right now that fits that? Nurkic, Valanciunas, maybe a return of Steven Adams? 

SGA/J-Dub/Dort/----/Chet is their lineup currently. I assume they are moving Giddey. To me they need a backup 5 and a starting 4 that is not only mobile, but has size and can hit 3s. I think basically everyone is looking for that. Maybe OKC throws a boatload of picks to HOU for Adams+Jabari Smith Jr....
