The Cavs don't want to pay both Allen and Sexton, especially while still being hamstrung by Love. I've been proposing Sexton trades on here for a month because it is apparent Sexton could be on the move.
What trades have you suggested? What makes sense for both teams?
Well before Walker was traded it was Walker to NY, Love and Sexton to Boston, and some young players/draft picks to Cleveland. That is obviously off the table. While not a trade to Boston, I think some variation of Love, Sexton, 3 for Simmons, Maxey, Milton, 28, 2022 1st makes sense.
So for Boston to acquire Sexton it will be more difficult now (as trading Horford makes little sense), but almost certainly would require us to take on Love. Something like this works financially: Love, Sexton for Smart, Thompson, Langford, G. Williams, Edwards. Not sure if either team would do that, but it would certainly make Boston interesting next year and a healthy starting 5 of Sexton, Brown, Tatum, Love, and Horford has a lot of size and offensive firepower. Bring back Fournier and you still have a nice 2 deep bench with Pritchard, Fournier, Nesmith, Parker, R. Williams
