Collin Sexton remains “very available” in trade talks and the Thunder are latest team linked to the former No. 8 overall pick.
Oklahoma City is intrigued by the possible pairing of Sexton and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, according to Evan d’Amarell of FearTheSword. The Thunder have a bevy of draft capital in order to make a deal work, however, it was recently reported that Cleveland wasn’t looking for picks as it continues to have Sexton trade talks with teams around the league.
Sexton just had his best season from a statistical standpoint. The Alabama product scored 24.3 points per game while making 47.5 percent of his shots from the field.
There were recent reports that teams around the league like Sexton’s talent but his fit as well as his looming contract extension are making teams wary of trading for the 22-year-old. Oklahoma City seems to have no concern with the fit and they have a pretty clean future cap sheet, though like Sexton, SGA will be eligible for a rookie-scale extension this summer.
