4. Collin Sexton, Cleveland Cavaliers
I honestly don’t know what the Cleveland Cavaliers are doing or if they even have a set plan heading into the 2021-22 season. In fact, after what the team elected to do this past week, I probably should have Collin Sexton higher on this list.
Here are the facts: The Cavs have paid Jarrett Allen $100 million, Lauri Markkanen $67 million, and just drafted Evan Mobley. Even though they should probably have given some of that, if not all of it, to Sexton, I have to believe they’re still bullish on the idea overall.
While I’m still on the fence regarding the Cavs trading Sexton and ultimately there’s a very good chance that they elect to keep him, it wouldn’t be surprising either way. Sexton is a really good player and if the Cavs don’t realize that, they probably don’t deserve him.
The fact that Sexton could find his way to the trade block is absolutely insane, but that very well may be the case.
