"I believe a SnT is being discussed involving Powell."
I think CLE likes Sexton at a low number, so this feels like how the Markanen situation played out. He supposedly wants to stay, just at a bigger number.
Sexton would probably be Base Year, complicating any trade. Then it takes a bigger offer. Then it has to be matched while overcoming Base Year. Also within and beforehand the Mavs would have to shed about $10-15M in payroll.
Very complicated, with many moving parts.
