The big priority for the New York Knicks this offseason should be Chris Paul. But for now, it’s more of a fantasy than reality. For the time being. The New York franchise is therefore active on different tracks concerning talented guards. Including Collin Sexton.
If the Cavs had long thought about giving him a max extension this summer, they would have changed their minds, like revealed it The Athletic a few days ago. And the player, not necessarily the easiest to manage on a daily basis, would now be available.
Collin Sexton, more welcome to Cleveland?
A rumor that seems all the more plausible as the situation in Ohio lends itself to it. The Cleveland Cavaliers have potential on the lead with Darius Garland and on the wing with Isaac Okoro. And pick # 3 could be used to bring in a fullback like Jalen Green or Jalen Suggs. So there is a good chance that the Cavs will part with it this summer.

It remains to be seen whether his (rather very) timid progress in defense is sufficient to convince a Tom Thibodeau …
Collin Sexton blows everyone up in Cleveland, Cavaliers should ask questions
