One more thought on this topic:
I doubt Nico Harrison looks at Sexton with much longing, given his stance on defense. But, there's a difference between a guy you wish was better, defensively, and a guy who at times quite literally refuses to even try on that end, choosing instead to lay on the floor for too long trying to get a call or to spend an entire defensive possession screaming at a ref about a call he didn't get 24 seconds ago. The latter is a type of player I can actually understand why you'd want rid of, even if their offensive game is mesmerizing. The former, well...I think every team is going to have 1-4 of those in their rotation, and that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
...which kind of brings me back to the idea that Austin Reeves should have been in that deal at the deadline, somehow.
