Collin Sexton‘s name has been floating around in trade rumors over the offseason, but Cavaliers GM Koby Altman apparently has other ideas.
“We want him here long term and he wants to be here long term and we’re working through things with his representation,” Altman said. “We’ll take care of things behind closed doors.”
Sexton averaged 24.3 points on 47.5 percent shooting and 4.4 assists per game last season, which were all career-highs.
