Sign & Trade For Cleveland Cavaliers’ Collin Sexton

New York Knicks Receive: G Collin Sexton

On the other hand, if the New York Knicks do get cold feet regarding Donovan Mitchell, they could likely get a similar player at a much lower price.

It’s hard to say with confidence what may happen with Collin Sexton. He’s a restricted free agent, and by all accounts, the market is pretty cool on him. We’re assuming his contract should roughly match Rose’s $14 million, but if not, it might have to be Evan Fournier heading to Cleveland.

The Cavaliers should bite either way. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that they don’t see Sexton as part of their future. Why not add a solid rotation veteran and a first-round pick for a player that they don’t seem interested in?

Meanwhile, the Knicks are landing a guy who averaged 24.3 points per game in 2020-21. Collin Sexton spent most of last season shelved with an injury, but at 23, he’s still got the potential to be a star in the NBA.
