The Cleveland Cavaliers were one of the most entertaining stories in the NBA last season. Despite losing in the Play-In Tournament, they out-performed any and all expectations placed on them before the season began.
Injuries ended up derailing their season all year, with guys like Ricky Rubio and Jarrett Allen all missing significant time. But the one player who may have been missed the most was Collin Sexton.
However, with Sexton now being a restricted free agent, there are some questions surrounding whether or not he’ll be returning to Cleveland next year.
The two sides have yet to negotiate a new contract. So, while he may very well return to the Cavs, here are three sign-and-trades that would see the young guard find a new squad.
NBA Trades: 3 Collin Sexton sign-and-trades for the Cleveland Cavaliers: Utah Jazz
Jazz receive: Collin Sexton
Cavaliers receive: Malik Beasley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker
This trade would see the Jazz go in an interesting direction, while the Cavaliers would be snagging one rotational piece and one player they could take a chance on.
Beasley would be the primary return Cleveland would be getting in this deal. He would provide them with some added wing depth and another player who can create his own shot.
For the Jazz, this would definitely be an interesting decision, but as they attempt to reshape the roster around Donovan Mitchell, this risk could be worth it.
A backcourt of Mitchell and Sexton would be very undersized, but they would also score a ton of points. It would definitely be an offensive-minded moves, but as the Jazz look to restructure things, risks will be necessary.
