Collin Sexton TRADED To The Charlotte Hornets!

Collin Sexton TRADED To The Charlotte Hornets!

alrighty y’all We got kind of a weird one here We’ve got the Utah Jazz and the Charlotte Hornets making a trade Colin Ston and a 2030 second round pick are on their way to Charlotte for Yousef Nerkage Now I I didn’t do a video on this one right away I’m just getting back from a trip and I’m trying to get a bunch of stuff organized So apologies that it’s not out instantly but this is the weird one I saw this one get posted and instantly I was like “Okay there must be more going on here.” And nothing else is happening So I I just need to kind of like understand what’s going on here So let’s let’s draw out the trade really quickly right let’s draw it out So we got the Jazz and we got the Hornets Hornets we know are some some sneaky mofos now That’s that’s what they’ve started to become known as around the NBA and within inner talks These guys are a little sneaky which is nice because Charlotte for the longest time just wasn’t doing anything So it’s kind of cool that they’re at least being active now Utah typically regarded as a pretty eliterrun organization Um so Colin Ston on his way to Charlotte Colin Ston pretty solid basketball player Defensively not very good but offensively pretty damn good Yousef Nerkich not known as a great basketball player at this moment in time He’s had his moments in the NBA but this last season was pretty rough So I’m I I get a little bit confused And obviously there’s like a second round pick going in this Do we know exactly which second round pick this is i I I know I saw it at some point but just know that there’s a second round pick in this as well And here’s here’s where I get confused Both of these players are on expiring deals right both of them are on expiring contracts Um Yousef Nerk makes more money and is considerably just kind of looked at as a worse probably NBA player than Colin Ston is And so in my mind I’m like how is there a draft pick attached to Colin Ston to get him off the team when the money isn’t any different am I Am I missing something here let me let me take a look at that His contract’s guaranteed No Yeah his his gu his his contract is guaranteed I I can’t comprehend this one Like is it a catastrophe of a deal no It’s a second round pick Utah’s got some picks but like it’s not a plethora of picks I just I don’t understand You look at the rest of the roster right so you got Walker Kesler at center Kyle Filipki’s like like offensively he’s actually fine Defensively he’s got some other problems And I get it He’s a non-rebounding center but he’s young Like you do have a center there I don’t I don’t understand why you needed to add another center to the rotation here especially when you like you got guys like John Collins still on the roster It’s not like you couldn’t throw Markin in there if you needed to but I just I feel like there’s some bigs here And I’m trying to think like okay does this put him in more of a competitive stance this next year and like I wouldn’t necessarily say yes Like I I don’t I don’t understand exactly what he’s bringing Like historically Nerkish is a pretty solid defensive player Like he can contribute fine on the offensive end Nothing to write home about though But Colin Ston like Duke can get you 20 points any single night Yes defensively is a problem but that that leaves you more short-handed in a worse position at the guard because as of right now you’ve got Isaiah Kier Somebody’s car alarm’s going off God damn it Well now that that’s over Um so they’re left with Keonte George Isaiah Kier not two guys that you probably want running your offense if you want a chance at winning some basketball games this year Jordan Clarkson’s still on the team Kind of same thing there like obviously a little bit more reliable but overall like Colin Sexton should help you like win more games than lose games And I just I don’t understand cuz it’s not like like yes you’re taking back more money but they were both expiring contracts either way So it’s not like they just didn’t want to pay Colin Ston They just really wanted Nerk for some reason So shout out Charlotte They get Colin Ston on the team So you’ve just added like another scorer to this group which is um pretty cool you get another ball handler on the team which you didn’t have many of those Defensively this team is really really weird and their center rotation is non-existent at this point Like you got Musa here who I I don’t even necessarily consider him a center but he’s there And so you just kind of have no centers on the team it feels like now unless I’m missing someone right i’m not I’m not missing anybody Um they get a pick which is cool I do have questions about what this means for Trey Man Is this like cuz Colin Ston kind of fills the Trey man role on the team Are they bringing him back are they not bringing him back cuz he just drafted Khan as well who’s going to play like a similar like kind of guard position So what what’s going on here like if you’re Charlotte I I wouldn’t question it too much just because it’s a better asset to gain overall right like you gained a pick and you gained a what should be considered a just a better player So I can’t be mad at it and it’s not like you guys were probably going to be that good this year Anyway but I I really don’t know what Utah was doing with this pick I just I found this really interesting and kind of just wanted to talk about it more so than anything else Look team swing and miss sometimes and maybe Nerkage is a missing piece to this group but either way like I I can’t comprehend how in the negotiation it got to this point but shout out Charlotte for coming out on the other end of what like without any like hindsight that you can throw into things just living in the moment right now this trade should not have been executed this way Like if anything like a pick should have been coming back and then we probably are like okay like feel like they could have gotten a little bit more for Sexton but whatever at least they got something cuz we knew he was kind of on the block but this is this is strange This is very very strange Maybe there’s more to come I always try to keep that open mind with these things Um yeah I’m very curious where they’re going with this So yeah shout out Charlotte What’s gonna happen with Trey man who’s gonna play center for these guys i have I have no clue Um there’s plenty of centers here by the way Like is this is this is um this doesn’t even have anything to do with this Are the Suns keeping Nick Richards what’s going on do the like it I’m pretty sure his option is like due today isn’t it and it’s it’s looking like he’s going to be sticking around So do the Suns not realize that there’s still a second apron team what What exactly are the Phoenix Suns doing right now i’m not I’m not positive about that either but this is um this is interesting This is I I just thought about Nick Richards because he was on the Hornets this year I was trying to think about other centers that they had um just on this team in recent memory and it’s it’s interesting It’s really really interesting So yeah I don’t I don’t necessarily know what this does for Charlotte in terms of helping them win basketball games What this means for Trey Man I I think they just gained more assets than they had before So good good for you Charlotte The Hornets and the Wizards continue to kind of make good moves What’s what’s going on NBA what’s going on i I don’t get it Yeah I I really don’t know what the Jazz were necessarily thinking here This is um this is a weird one You have a really bulky front court now So you got Nerk you got Markin Collins Taylor Hendricks you hope is going to be healthy this year Walker Kesler you got Philipowski who I assume maybe they try to throw out for some minutes this year but this is um this is an odd one I guess at the end of the day there’s just one year on his contract so like I’m not going to trip about it too much but this just seems like a weird asset exchange more so than anything else Um anything else I can cover in this video uh Lonnie Walker is a free agent now someone should go get him I think Lonnie Walker is a um is an interesting interesting player But yeah let me know what you guys think down below about this trade cuz I’m I’m just struggling to comprehend and understand this one If you guys find some logic in there that kind of makes some sense to me let me know But otherwise I’m just going to use my context clues to say Utah really wanted Nerk I guess Like I guess I get like some rebounding and stuff off the bench But I don’t know It’s weird It’s really really weird But anyway um I appreciate you guys for watching as always And we will I got to record a video later tonight still after my game So uh video on Monday for you guys But anyway thanks so much Bye Heat Heat [Music]
