It often feels to me that Cleveland fans live in constant fear of "don't do anything to make them want to leave."
Regardless of the sport, this is always coming up. So many Tribe fans still think the franchise is about to move. People freaked out about Baker's contract extension all of July, and he's signed through 2023.
Coaches should make decisions that put their team in the best position to win. Once a team wins more games than they lose, players will want to stay in Cleveland.
Put winning first. You might just find out Sexton puts winning first too.
I think Sexton puts winning first on any team for which he is playing at the time. But I also think he'd much prefer to be putting up wins while playing for a team where he is a starter, and getting a starters minutes.
Kid loves to play, and he's going to choose an option where he gets max playing time. Whatever label you want to put on that, he's going to play fewer minutes here as the third guard than he will as a starter somewhere else.
