The Cleveland Cavaliers would need a third team to move Collin Sexton

The Cleveland Cavaliers have discussed moving Collin Sexton

It appears that the future of Collin Sexton is set in stone and it’s not going to be with the Cleveland Cavaliers after all. According to Chris Fedor on the Wine and Gold Podcast, the team is actively fielding and discussing trades for the young guard. Deals with the Utah Jazz and the Dallas Mavericks were the two teams named, but Fedor stated that neither had the assets to achieve the trade.

The trade would need to be a sign-and-trade situation and there is a general thought that the Jazz could make the trade but only after they trade away Donovan Mitchell. Until that happens, it appears that any team that wants Sexton will need to rope in a third team to land the young guard.

Here’s what Fedor had to say (via Hoops Hype)

"The Cavs have had conversations with Dallas about a sign and trade for Collin Sexton. But if you’re talking about a sign-and-trade, the Cavs need something back that is going to be valuable to them. And neither the Jazz nor the Mavericks have the pieces that the Cavs would want back in a sign and trade for Colin."

Collin Sexton believes he can out-hustle anyone

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ young guard has been the subject of a trade for a while now. He’s coming off a major knee injury, but he seems to be ready to bounce back. That said, one would have to think the constant trade talk may have slowed Sexton down some.

That’s not the case at all. Sexton was recently in Miami for a recent pro-am and was asked what he could bring to a team for the upcoming season, and Sexton laid it all out there (via Cavs  Nation);

"I’m just the type of player that’s going to play both ends. I can score the ball, I can lock up. That’s pretty much that’s me. I’ll bring you that energy, bring you that grind every day. I love that. That’s me. No one can outhustle me or anything."

Sexton, to his credit, looked good in the pro-am, showing his quickness and ability to hit mid-range shots. Granted, it’s going to be a bit different playing against NBA-caliber talents when he does come back. So while things are encouraging, it’s important to not leap to a conclusion about his recovery and comeback just yet.
