The Raps really need their point guard of the future now.
It will probably take a few years for a prospect to get established. So they need to find someone now that will take over after Schroeder’s contract is finished. That is, unless you believe Dennis will have a late career bloom like Lowry.
The ideal pick ups would be someone like pre-trade Lowry, pre-trade Haliburton, or pre-trade SGA (I know, not a PG).
So who do you think is the next PG that has a high ceiling, but hasn’t shown it yet?
I’m imagining someone you could trade Siakam for and it seems like you’re giving too much. But then in 3-4 years, you’ll say the Raps won the deal.
For example, I bet Cason Wallace will look really good in 3-4 years.
Davion Mitchell and Simons are not PG.
Mitchell is a small guard and an offensive liability, but a plus defensively.
Simons is a pure shooting guard that has a big contract, so not particularly relevant for this thread.
