We need a PG who can play SG when sharing the court with Brunson. Otherwise, he will play only 15 minutes a night and less than 10 in the playoffs.

I think only Jordan can play SG from this list.

He can be a great option. At least on the 50% of the time when he is not injured.

Yeah… injury risk for sure, but that’s why he’d come cheap and since we have guard depth, he can be rested here and there

This is Milos Vujanic all over again. Rokas will never come here.

But we do need another creator/scorer somewhere

For now I would just let Deuce get a chance. He will go thru some ups and downs. He struggled a little bit in this game. The previous one he was 2-3 and a team high +7.


I’d love for Deuce to be that guy but he’s also small. Rokus is 6’4”. I like to have some length at the position.

Nope, but he does need a minutes bump. Grimes and Hart can fill in the extra. Let’s see what they can do.

If Thibs can work out the minutes, then Donte at PG definitely could help.

I don't mind bringing a draft asset over. Trading for any player not at Brunson's level is pretty much a waste at this point. Brogdon is constantly hurt, always whining about everything.

This roster is a second round team that will get completely ranched by the Bucks, Celtics, 76ers and a healthy Heat team. If the trade doesn't put you in that tier then don't waste assets.

You could be right. He wants to be assured of playing time. He would probably get that now with us. Once he gets into the NBA, he could end up on a team that would start him if he should that kind of promise with us as a backup first.

He hasn't shown himself to be a Luka Doncic, so I don't get where his demands are coming from.

Maybe he's happy where he is, and doesn't want to be uprooted if it means holding back his growth as a player. Or maybe he's extorting us for more $$. We'll see.

I feel bad for this kid because with Thibs we could sign him and play him as JB's back up, but he won't see the 2, so he would play exclusively 10mpg no matter how good he is.

Finally Wingo! You have the right answer! :lol:

Rokas would fill that 6th man role with IQ gone. Has all of the talent to be a versatile pass first playmaker in the NBA.

They have him bringing up the ball occasionally. Fat Kat's a bigger proponent of this than me. I think we still need to bring in a veteran PG. Someone like Jarrett Jack when we had him.
