Among the hotter trade rumors around the NBA landscape at the moment concerns the Cleveland Cavaliers standout 22-year-old former Alabama Crimson Tide point guard Collin Sexton. And if this is the case that the divisional foe Cavaliers are bound to move Sexton this offseason, then one team that could be a viable landing spot for him is the Chicago Bulls.
The original trade rumor this week concerning the Cavs and Sexton came from Terry Pluto of cleveland.com. It was actually two other NBA executives that “floated” the idea of the Cavs using Sexton was a point of trade discussion, not necessarily Cleveland outright looking for suitors for the point guard.
Either way, there is the potential that the backcourt duo of guards Sexton and Darius Garland doesn’t work out well with the Cavs over the long haul. That was the concern for the Cavs the second that they selected the former Vanderbilt Commodores guard Garland fifth overall in the 2019 NBA Draft Lottery.
The Cavs picked Garland two slots ahead of the Bulls getting the former North Carolina Tar Heels point guard Coby White in the 2019 draft lottery.
