Dallas Mavericks Pair Collin Sexton, Luka Doncic

Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: G/F Tim Hardaway Jr., 2025 First-Round Pick (DAL)

Dallas Mavericks Receive: G Collin Sexton

We’ve advocated for this trade before. In all likelihood, we’ll advocate for it again.

The Cleveland Cavaliers do not seem high on Collin Sexton. This is a 23-year-old who averaged an efficient 24.3 points per game in 2020-21. Yes, there are caveats. The Cavaliers were bad. Sexton has significant holes in his game in terms of floor vision and defense. Still, re-read that sentence:

This is a 23-year-old who averaged an efficient 24.3 points per game in 2020-21.

Yet, Sexton is still a restricted free agent. If the Cavaliers don’t want to retain him, they should find someone who thinks they can use them. The Dallas Mavericks certainly could. They’ve got a dire need to find Luka Doncic an offensive co-star.
