On a personal level, good luck to all three players dealt to Utah in the Donovan Mitchell trade — (Salt Lake City is pretty sweet) — but especially to Collin Sexton, an infinitely likeable kid who went hard every night. pic.twitter.com/6zfhxOJFDh5:42 PM

Donovan Mitchell — acquired from UTA for Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Agbaji, 3 first rounders, 2 pick swaps — has been an All-Star in each of the last 3 yrs, top 15 scorer in last 4 — career avg. 23.9ppg, playoff avg. 28.3ppg, Dunk champ — and is still 25 years old. pic.twitter.com/G0OjTaaRSs5:26 PM

COLLIN SEXTON ACTUALLY HAD A BETTER SEASON THAN RJ BARRETT WHEN HE WAS 22 AND NOW HE COSTS $12 MILLION LESS PER YEAR AND REMEMBER THAT TIME HE PLAYED 3 ON 5 AT ALABAMA AND ALMOST WON pic.twitter.com/YrZji4XQ1J12:26 AM

Love the trade for Cleveland to get Spider. But a now healthy Collin Sexton is also being slept on. Sexton averaged 24.3 points and 6.4 free throw attempts per game during the 2020-21 season. – 8:03 PM

Collin Sexton will make a fresh start in Utah with the Jazz. The 4-year/$72M deal give him the opportunity to lead the team.
2022-23: $16.7M
2023-24: $17.5M
2024-25: $18.4M
2025-26: $19.2M

CLEVELAND/UTAH TRADE THREAD:
• CLE acquired Mitchell ($30.9M)
• UTA acquired Sexton ($16.7M), Markkanen ($16.5M), Agbaji ($3.9M) + ’25, ’27, ’29 unprotected 1sts + ’26, ’28 pick swaps
If Mitchell opts out, he’d be off the team for the last 4 draft picks (’26, ’27, ’28, ’29). – 5:06 PM
Peter Vecsey @PeterVecsey1
If Collin Sexton is fully recovered from last season’s knee injury—surely Jazz believe it’s the case, otherwise they wouldn’t have invested 72M over four years; or was that the price 2 consummate the deal?) is Mitchell that much better?! Season b4 injury, Sexton averaged 23. – 2:51 PM

New Jazzmen Collin Sexton and Stanley Johnson might have to fight over who wears No. 2. Johnson has claimed it. I also feel like someone new has already claimed Lauri Markkanen’s 24, but I can’t think who if so. Ochai Agbaji’s college 30 should be open – 8:14 PM

Donovan Mitchell is better than an uninjured Collin Sexton. I guess you just have to decide if he’s Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Ogbaji, three unprotected first-rounders, two pick swaps and $63 million more in salary better than an uninjured Collin Sexton. – 5:33 PM

Utah still has coveted veteran trade asserts, including Bojan Bogdanovic, Jordan Clarkson and Mike Conley Jr. They’ll approach an Oklahoma City-esque haul of draft assets once they’re done dealing. Jazz consider Markkanen, Sexton and Agbaji keepers for their rebuilding roster. – 4:23 PM

Eric Pincus @EricPincus
Teams are hard-capped when they use their NTMLE, BAE or acquire a player via sign-and-trade — so Utah is now hard-capped via Sexton (or will be once it’s executed officially) – 4:09 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Thought Sexton would have been a fine Maverick, big clearly Cleveland had much bigger plans in mind. – 4:09 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
There’s a very reasonable argument to be made that Sexton, Markkanen, Agbaji plus three unprotected firsts (and two swaps) is superior to the rumored Grimes/Toppin/Quickley/McBride packages.
Sexton, 23, is by far the best player from the group. Agbaji was the 14th pick in June. – 4:09 PM

Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBA
It’ll be a glorious tank for the Utah Jazz. This roster is so weak:
Conley / Clarkson / Butler
Sexton / Beasley / Agbaji
Bogdanovic / THT
Vanderbilt / Markkanen
Kessler / Gay
A ton of firsts plus swaps, more vets to deal, and a frontrunner in the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes. – 4:01 PM
Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
as of the time of this tweet, heres what Utah got for Donovan Mitchell + Gobert:
• Malik Beasley
• THT
• Stanley Johnson
• Bolmaro
• Walker Kessler
• Vanderbilt
• Markkanen
• Agbaji
• Sexton
• ’23 1RD
• ’25 1RD x2
• ’26 swap x2

Also, the @Utah Jazz started targeting Collin Sexton very early in this process.
His name was floated around even before the the NBA Draft and the Rudy Gobert trade.
So Sexton may not be Barrett, but he’s been a target for months. – 3:50 PM

More on this storyline

The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired NBA All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell in a trade with the Utah Jazz, Cavaliers President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman announced today from Cleveland Clinic Courts. In exchange, Cleveland has sent guard Collin Sexton (via sign and trade), forward Lauri Markkanen, guard Ochai Agbaji and three future unprotected first round draft picks (2025, 2027, 2029) to Utah, while also agreeing to swap picks in 2026 and 2028. -via NBA.com / September 3, 2022
According to Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN, the Cleveland Cavaliers trasded Lauri Markkanen, Ochair Agbaji, Collin Sexton, three unprotected first-round picks, and two pick swaps to Utah Jazz for Donovan Mitchell. “Obviously, it’s a great addition to the team,” Cedi Osman shared his reaction to the trade with BasketNews. “I believe that everybody [in the organization] is excited.” Does he see the Cavaliers being contenders in Eastern Conference in the upcoming season? “Definitely,” Osman answered with confidence. -via BasketNews / September 3, 2022
Chris Fedor: And on top of that, you know, both teams have completed multiple trades since Koby came in charge and since Justin Zanuck was making decisions for the Jazz, so I think that helped with negotiations and keeping everybody in the loop and trying to keep these conversations as private as possible, and not throwing lottery marketing’s name out in the media and Collin Sexton’s name and all that kind of stuff. So, you know, as the offseason progress, about two weeks ago, the Cavs finally had a feeling of, hey, we might be in this thing. We might have the pieces that Utah actually wants. -via Apple Podcasts / September 3, 2022
