I really don't get the Sexton interest. I do think he would be a target if I was running another good team that needed some bench scoring. I think he is a pretty good player.
For the Mavs though? Mavs have limited assets and to use a few of them for a small, good salaried bench player doesn't seem smart to me. Especially one who really doesn't complement Kyrie or Luka (might fit a bit better with Luka). Sexton is also a guy who wouldn't be on a floor at end of games in a perfect world.
I am telling you Exum, Hardy and a veteran min 5th guard is good enough. Their is some risk because Hardy hasn't done it yet and Exum has injury concerns. That should be fine though. I will acknowledge many may disagree with that and they could be right. I just don't think using assets to upgrade that backup guard spot is the right way to go.
In all honesty a guy with the Jazz who I have always been lukewarm about when he was brought up often who I would like better then sexton is John Collins. I would need to do a much deeper dive and in the end his contract may just be too out of whack. I do wonder if in the right environment if he could find a similar footing as PJ. He would be your maxi replacement. May able to play super big at times too with PJ at the 3. There would be certain questions I would need answered but that could be interesting….if you could swallow the contract for a bench player
