3. Collin Sexton
Sexton got signed to the Jazz on a multi-year deal last offseason as a part of the Mitchell trade. After returning from a knee injury the year prior, Sexton did have a pretty productive year; he averaged 14.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game in 2022-23. He was also able to shoot the ball at a pretty efficient rate as well, posting 51/39/81 spots.
However, there are two problems when it comes to Collin Sexton, 1. being his contract, and 2. being his availability
Last offseason, Sexton signed a 4-year, $72 million contract with the Jazz that will go until the 2025-26 season. At the end of his contract, he’ll be making close to $19 million. While at face value that may not be a horrible contract for Sexton, his recent availability has been a bit concerning. Playing 59 games in the past two seasons, you can’t help but worry if this will be a trend that continues.
Paying Sexton that kind of money to only play half of the games in a season doesn’t come out to great value. What would present better value would be to trade Sexton to a team that may need bench scoring or guard depth.
The Jazz can find a replacement for Collin Sexton while potentially being able to save cap in the process. If Utah can get a young player or draft capital in return for Sexton this offseason, they should absolutely move on it.
