This is a good barometer for Dallas in the next 18 months. Can they put together a similar package in time. Right now, they feel a little short on younger players.
I don't think Lauri is much of an asset at 17 and he did not make a lot of sense on that team anyways. I think it was clear they had no interest in holding on to Sexton. Does 4 for 72 make Sexton an asset? Probably given his youth, but I have never been interested due to his lack of defense and supposed on court selfishness. The kid is like another first (and at 14 probably one of the higher ones they will get from Cleveland) so that is basically 4 firsts and 2 swaps with a maybe asset in Sexton. We can come fairly close to that offer next offseason.
