Collin Sexton | The Young Bull

[Futuredome]

You know, I don't think Sexton would have much of a market around the league at this point. That should tell you something. Nobody's looking to give a lot of money to a 6ft scorer who hasn't demonstrated the ability to play within a team concept on either side of the ball. In this league, that's a bench guy, as I said above.

The Cavs should be very careful not to end up bidding against themselves here. In my opinion this is a pretty critical point in time – you lay the groundwork for the team that will be led by Mobley in a few years. You don't need to muddy the waters by paying Sexton like a franchise dude.

There is a reason he isn't signed yet. Collin is no dummy. He knows 30 million isn't coming. But the Cavs have held back.............oh what tangled webs we lead. Would Collin accept a 4 year 80 million dollar deal range????? Maybe the Cavs hope to never find out. But time is ticking.

What kind of people do we have Larry Nash Jr Said the guy who said this about Collon is 100%wrong yet we have people on this board that dislike collin so much they do not believe the truth from someobe like Larry Who would know.

You need a very specific guy with a dude like Sexton. A defensive playmaker who can use Sextons speed on blocks and steals.

We just drafted this guy. I think Sexton could be the #1 scorer without being the #1 guy

what? lol not your best work smh
the reason he is not signed is because they need to make sure the players they brought in to compliment him are going to produce enough to justify paying him instead of trading him

I wouldnt have a problem with this....

Game did run smoothly with no Collin. I think it is worth looking at. I really don't feel like Collin lost the team a bunch of games last year. He seemed content to play secondary guy when other guys were going off, so how he plays on the this team will be interesting.

I will say that the team looks like it might actually be pretty darn good defensively. I do worry if they can keep up that level of D when both Darius and Collin are playing.

Darius looked great tonight. This is going to be an interesting season.

If the Cavs wanted to pay Collin readily, they would have. It is the option of a upgrade vs Collin's actual cost for a extension that is slowing things down.

Dallas could use Sexton as 2nd scoring option behind Luka, and Colin would be a PG on defense there, so being undersized not a problem . Is Sexton and Love for Porzingis a good trade for both teams ? Kristaps would be a good fit next to Mobley. A stretch 5 would open up the floor for the rest of the team.

I struggle to see how Porzingis fits here with Mobley, Makkanen, & Allen.

Something has seemed "off" with Colin's game this preseason... like he's playing too tight. Hope they don't put too tight a leash on him when this teams needs scoring to come from somewhere.

Allen could be used as a future trade bait and a very good backup in the mean time. I don't see it as a problem. Porzingis is an upgrade. A center that can protect the rim and shoot is valuable in this league.

Porzingus is poorzingus now. The theory of the player is far from the reality. He has had yoo many injuries and is still prone for more. Owed a lot of money over thr last few years. Can't switch at all anymore. Can't post up anyone and useless on offense except as a jumpshooter since he can't pass either. Average at best as a shooter. Hell no

First, I’m not convinced that Porzingis can play center. Even if he could, I’m no accountant, but having a backup center on a $100 mil contract doesn’t seem real wise, especially with the direction that the game is going.

I was on the Porzingas train last year. Not so sure now as I like the front court rotation. I’d welcome him with open arms though for JA.

Garland, Sexton, Lauri, Mobley, Porzingas. That lineup would be insane IMO.

No way they can keep up defense with Sexton and Garland. But both might start, to get their trade values high as possible. Thats a back court that gives team 1st round exit at best.
