Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

[F Gump]

That's easy to say, but the availablity is limited at the value we need. I don't think anyone this board will want to spend on what it would take to acquire Jrue Holiday or Derek White. It would be more than Gafford. You can't just say what "should" be done and assume we have the assets to do it. This isn't fantasy trading.

What are you willing to do with guards that might be available?

Here's my own criteria on navigating those issues of value needed vs cost it takes ---- 

If it takes MORE than MLE or some matching salary of low value here, it MUST bring back a sizable upgrade who plays both ends and can offer value to the team. (I dont think Sexton passes that bar.)

I think Brandon Williams and Exum are each a better player to use than CS, and lower cost and pay to boot.

I think Naji and perhaps Flagg will be used as PGish (ie, point-something) and likely give more valuable minutes than having Sexton. (FWIW I think and am willing to predict Flagg's obvious potential, effectiveness, and ability to play cross positions, will make us rethink everything very early, frankly.)

I think CP3 and Ty Jones and Clayton could be gettable and offer minutes that would overall prove way better for the team than having Sexton. 

I'm not opposed to a real upgrade. I just dont think CS qualifies and would be wanted very long .... too much pay, price too high, big issues with his play, great if you are tanking. Just look elsewhere.
