I guess my interest stems from the idea that Sexton is nowhere close to being a finished product.
Yep. Everything said about Sexton being a good stats bad team guy could haven been said (and was) about Devin Booker and Zach LaVine when they were Sexton's age. He is 2 years younger than Booker and 4 years younger than LaVine. I remember when they said the same thing about Kyrie before LeBron got to the Cavs. Heck, people were saying the same thing about Trae Young 3 months ago. At the end of the day a 22 year old putting up 24 points a game in the NBA is no small thing.
My whole thing about trading KP is I'm not interested in just dumping his salary for the sake of dumping his salary. I want a 2nd star. If the Mavs don't think KP will ever be salvaged into something resembling a 2nd star, I want them to parlay him into someone who could be .. and I think Sexton could be. I'm not interested in dumping him for PJ Washington so they can go bottom-middle tier shopping in free agency just for the sake of getting him out the building.
