How I see it is that Sexton for Brunson would be a push. I don't think Sexton is measurably better or worse, but he'd let us tread water. If you add Wood and McGee to the equation, then we're much better. Maybe not comparably with Warriors (who also got better) and other teams, but objectively, we'd be better.

It 100% comes down to cost on Sexton. Without cap room and with Sexton being an RFA, it HAS to be a sign-and-trade so you already know it's going to cost a player or two for salary matching. If it's Powell and a second-rounder, you have to take that. What if it's THJ and our 2025 FRP? What about Hardy/Green/Kleber and 1-2 FRPs? Cost is going to be everything.
