KP has some value but it's not significant. I think a really good scorer like Sexton who is still on a rookie deal (although you got to pay him next year) is a very attractive piece. If you do have to pay him the max, his cap hold is quite a bit less so there's some appeal on that angle.
It would be easy to send the 2022 1st out in a draft night trade to dump love as well next summer.
I'm not fond of this move from an on court product perspective, but it does make some sense from an asset standpoint. Personally I would prefer to make a move that has a better chance of improving the team currently and long term without likely having to rely on future moves.
