I bet sexton would like to swap back to HRC for a few reasons.

Deano is a great option but I think we're missing an obvious choice.

The rider I'm thinking of is a good starter, doesn't quit, and has an AMA title 

I know this may be a bit controversial buuut

Vince Friese. Friese is the best option 

Been saying this all along.

Ink it.

Deegan, should take Hunter's bike specifically. Doesn't matter if he's under Star contract, he's a bad boy and a rule breaker.

Savatgy or Mcelrath makes the most sense to me if they can work out a deal with quadlock . 

Deano probably the easiest deal .

Shimoda would be cool if his hand was a 100%

Cullin Park is who I’d really want to see get a shot and he’s a bigger guy with 450 experience 

Cullin is actually a great shout that I don’t think anyone’s thought of, I know outdoors is a completely different species but he looked like his style suited a 450 when he was on one

Probably not, but I’d bet a private team looking for more sponsorship money would in a second.

I thought he was hurt, but if he is healthy again, Ferrandis is the fastest available 450 rider choice. He went 9-8 in the first two motos at Glendale in a field that still included Jett and Eli...

Thought I read that Trey hurt himself testing recently. If I'm mistaken...I'd love to see him on one of the Lawrwnce's factory bikes. Heck, he did most of the developmental testing on them and is probably still fast enough to make the main, and wind up top-10.

“With the unfortunate situation of having both Jett and Hunter out for the remainder of the Supercross season, we’ve had multiple riders reach out, asking to fill the vacant seats,” Brandon Wilson, manager of Racing and Advertising at American Honda, told MotoOnline.

“We’ve discussed this possibility internally and have not made a final decision as to whether or not to move forward. There are a number of factors in place, and we want to make sure that we don’t negatively impact a rider or their team’s current sponsor relations in moving a rider on to the Honda HRC Progressive bike.

“Also, with the rigorous nature of the schedule, we must make sure that we’re fair to the rider while giving them ample time to get the bike set up for their comfort. It’s an important decision and one that requires us to look at all the factors and not rush into anything. In the coming weeks, we’ll continue to look at our options and try to make the best decision for all involved.”

Justin Hill is the obvious choice.

How is Justin hill the obvious choice? He’s on a KTM and on a team. An obvious choice would be bringing a Honda supported rider over, ferrandis, mcelrath, Savatgy, Mumford, park, friese, Wilson.

Shane’s deal was for 5 or 6 races. Seems he would make the most sense.

Is Marvin Musquin an ambassador for KTM? Outside idea for sure but he probably still has some spark

He had his hands full in the 125-150 premix class in Canada.

What a fluff answer you can tell he’s a marketing guy. You want your bike in 14th or not.  I would never let a back up race my bike.  You need Extreme talent to keep the hardest bike to ride perculating.  This is not a easy 4-st to ride.

Maybe Gregory Aranda? he can get used to a new bike quickly and he would bring more exposure to the team than some other guys mentioned. And for one lap in qualifying he can throw it down, he could do some top10 maybe if he is comfortable in rough/rutted east coast tracks.
