Report: Utah Trading Collin Sexton, choice of the second round in Charlotte for Jusuf Nurkic

Charlotte Hornets have the Lamelo ball under contract and has just drawn up Kon Knueppel. Now they are adding another backcourt ball manager.

The Utah Jazz are exchanging Collin Sexton and a choice of the second 2030 round at Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic, an agreement first reported by Shams Charania by Espn and subsequently confirmed by other relationships.

Sexton will earn $ 19.2 million next season and is suitable for a veteran extension from his contract, if Charlotte wants to lock him down in the long term.

Charlotte looked for guard backup depths. They will probably start with Ball and Knueppel as guards and Brandon Miller at the three (Miles Bridges is the four). Sexton comes out of the bench like a solid combo guard who can play that or two behind the appetizers and fill the lesions. It is a quality pickup and it is not exactly clear why jazz should launch a choice of the second round to make this trade happen.

Jazz is a reconstruction team that has had an excess of backcourt and has just enrolled Ace Bailey (a wing that can play the two -way guard) and Walter Clayton Jr. This trade erases a few minutes for those guys.

Jazz is now deep in the center (and in the frontcourt in general). Walker Kessler is the center of the future and the player who should start and run a lot at five of the next season while looking for him jazz to develop his game. He has Nurkic and Kyle Filipowski behind him, also Collins can play five small balls, if necessary. Nurkic has an expiring contract from $ 19.4 million and could be exchanged again before the February deadline (if not much earlier).
