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.
If the Knicks aren’t sold on IQ as part of their future given they failed to extend him, i’d go after him. He’s overqualified to be a bench PG and he’s a good defender for his size though obviously he’d be coming off of it for the time being.
The issue is coming up with a trade package that doesn’t involve giving up another first.
I’ve heard some people are high on Quickley. Don’t know much of his game.
