I like the Sexton idea where DJJ signs the 1 + 1 , followed by THJ, Hardy, 2025 FRP for Collin Sexton. In that deal I would ask for a pick in return, 2024 low 1st or early 2nd. Utah has more picks this year than they can use, and not sure Sexton (with that contract) is worth all that.
But my preference for THJ, Hardy, 2025 FRP, more than Sexton, I would prefer Caruso. That offers a route to a bit more money for DJJ (up to somewhere in the 8.5-9.0M range), creating a better avenue to keep DJJ if the TxMLE is declined.
As an alternative to those (or perhaps an addition, to the Caruso thing), I wonder if Green for Sexton would be an even swap that would have some potential. Mavs would have to add some filler salary to make the numbers work. Given the comparative salaries, it feels to me like the values would be similar.
