AND, the Mavericks do not have a healthy lead guard on the roster. THEY HAVE THREE STARTING CENTERS.
I would truly prefer 2 BW's rather than add Sexton. That's not taking into account the salaries. Yes Sexton creates numbers (for himself) but he does none of the things that make a TEAM better. (I'm higher than most on BW but that's been the case since very soon after Luka was given away, and I think I was right to be so bullish. Still do.)
You are correct in saying that the Mavs have a big need for a PG -- but I think you are way off base in the idea that we need to have Sexton to fill that need. In fact, I'm not convinced he actually would really be a solution at all - sure, he can handle the ball and get himself some shots, but so can Hardy.
A trade for Sexton would be the PG version of a Christian Wood trade.
Sexton has no interest in defense or team and his best skill is getting a shot for himself. I've no interest in giving up good talent PLUS paying 19M to have that on my team.
BOTTOM LINE --- imo The Mavs can do soooooo much better for a far far far lower price in talent and pay.
