Collin Sexton thinks he’ll stay

Despite all the scuttlebutt over Collin Sexton getting traded, there’s a belief in his camp that he’s not going anywhere, actually. According to Chris Fedor, he’s still on the future’s invite list.

"Recent rumblings point to Sexton’s name being involved in trade discussions — even though sources close to Sexton have the impression that the polarizing 22-year-old shooting guard is part of the long-term plans."

Now, a player thinking they’ll stay isn’t the most revolutionary thing in the world. Especially not in the world of pro sports, where GMs lie all the time to the players they acquire and the media that covers them. Some GMs can’t be trusted while others don’t ever say anything at all. It’s impossible to know what is true and what isn’t true. Sports personalities, be it, players, coaches, or executives, lie all the time to prevent controversy from spreading.

It’s almost like they’d rather lie than be honest about what’s happening. Mind-boggling. So it would be understandable if Sexton believes he’s staying while he’s being shopped around. This is how pro sports work, for better or worse.

For Sexton, who knows why he thinks he’ll stay or why he’d even want to; considering everything that is going on. For fans that want him to stay, maybe you’re right. Maybe he’s the next coming of Steph Curry. A guy who needs a few years to fully develop. Maybe he’s not, and maybe he’s the next Lou Williams; a smaller guard who can score but not much else.

Who knows at this point.
