The problem is that we desperately need a point guard and there are very few decent ones available.
We went over it many times, but it's slim pickings out there. Even if we talk just solid point guards who would be long-term solutions.
Tyus Jones is the only free agent worth mentioning. Brogdon the only veteran we could get for cheap.
Garland has been awful in the Orlando series. Leaving us with just Trae and DJ as options.
Other point guards that fit the timeline aren't realistic targets.
Then we have this draft and the options to choose between a bunch of non-shooters, Dillingham who would be a poor man's Trae, Topic who's another Tomas Satoransky and Sheppard who isn't even a true point guard.
Next draft is also loaded with wings.
Add the fact that point guard is by far the most difficult position to develop and trading for one seems like a no brainer since anyone we draft would be two years away and that's just not good enough for Wemby.
Trading for Trae, getting a good 3-D veteran and giving another season to Devin and Jeremy while we draft wings in 2024 and 2025 drafts seems reasonable.
Then depending on how Devin and Jeremy do you either keep them or trade them for better players.
Sorry, but Devin won't be anywhere near worth that money if he doesn't take the next step. Jeremy can't be anything more than a fan favorite glue guy if he doesn't develop a jumpshot.
It's just the sad truth of this roster. We got nothing, more or less.
Watch a few playoff games, even between teams that aren't real contenders like Orlando and Cavs and it instantly becomes obvious how much better all those teams are.
Other than Devin and obviously Wemby, noone on our roster would get a single minute on any playoff team.
I guess Tre would get some minutes with the Suns, but that says way more about them.
