TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Mavsfan12]

No idea why the Mavs would go after Sexton.  He is undersized, a terrible defender and not a particularly good distributor.  Any concern with fit applied to Brunson would be doubled with Sexton.

It might have to do with the price tag on him being what it is, plus his possible availability.  I would prefer to take a flyer on a defensive ace, but there are worse ways to replace JB than Sexton - especially at more than half the cost.  He is a solid 3pt shooter (better career than JB) and a gritty driver.  He has solid numbers without playing next to Luka.  I could see him getting that Dinwiddie bump here.  I agree that he is not ideal defensively.  

I see a LOT of Atlanta Jason Terry in him, although he has been asked to be more SG than PG in his career, so far.  If you're asking if I would part with Powell for him?  Yes.  Yes I would. Not a home run, but I would take a single, with the possibility of a stolen base.
