Why would the Utah Jazz trade-off Collin Sexton?
The Utah Jazz stepped into the last season after trading off Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. They were expected to tank and land Victor Wembanyama, but the plan did not work. This year, they have immense draft capital, and they are adding four more to the collection. Will the plan work this time?

Why would the Houston Rockets like to sign Collin Sexton?
Things are going the way the Houston Rockets want them to go. Fred VanVleet, Dillon Brooks, Alperen Sengun, and Jabari Smith have done their job brilliantly. The Rockets have a little to worry about in their backcourt, and they are fixing that in this deal. Isn’t this a bit too much for Collin?
