Re Sexton: FWIW I was listening to the Fan earlier and Bryan Broaddus had text a Mavs source, while on-air, to inquire about the level of interest and was told: he’s a “different” guy, selfish, bucket-getter but bench guy - no role here

That's not the first time I've heard "selfish" as a tag for Sexton.

Here is an amateur article discussing this when he was just a draft prospect.

Here is a professional article discussing the same thing 3 years later.

"Various Cavs players still grow frustrated by the way Sexton dominates the ball, and opponents taunt them by saying during games, “you know he’s not going to pass you the ball"

Still, Sexton is a 20ppg guy that could shoot the three very well before he got hurt. He can score at all 3 levels. He's not a perfect fit, but I wouldn't be against such a move provided that he's cheap. He'd be a trade asset if anything.
