Collin Sexton has emerged as a potential trade target after averaging 24.3 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.1 rebounds for the Cleveland Cavaliers during their 22-50 season. Despite his impressive individual statistics, concerns about his playing style and team fit have led to trade discussions. Here are three realistic trade scenarios:

Miami Heat Trade Package:

• Heat receive: Collin Sexton
• Cavaliers receive: Tyler Herro and Kendrick Nunn
• Benefits: Sexton fits Miami's aggressive culture while Cavs get two promising young players with Finals experience

New York Knicks Trade Package:

• Knicks receive: Collin Sexton
• Cavaliers receive: Kevin Knox II, Frank Ntilikina, and Elfrid Payton
• Benefits: Knicks get their dynamic guard while Cavs add depth with role players

Oklahoma City Thunder Trade Package:

• Thunder receive: Collin Sexton
• Cavaliers receive: Hamidou Diallo, Darius Bazley, and two first-round picks
• Benefits: Thunder pair Sexton with SGA while Cavs get young talent plus valuable draft assets

The Thunder deal offers the most long-term value for Cleveland with two draft picks and promising young players. This trade would work best if Oklahoma City can move Kemba Walker in a separate deal, allowing them to build around a young core of Sexton, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Lu Dort.

These scenarios provide different approaches for both teams - immediate impact (Heat), role player depth (Knicks), or future assets (Thunder). The Cavaliers' choice will likely depend on their preferred timeline for contention.
