I like it. Big upgrade and we got Dennis off the bench.

Will Darko start Quickley? Or stick with his boy Dennis? I’m serious here guys, he really thinks Dennis needs his own team.

Seriously this is also a big concern of mine :lol:

We need to give IQ a chance at more mins and opportunity

Has IQ ever started for a stretch? His numbers suggest hes more of a pure shooter scorer. I guess thats a good fit next to Scottie.

RJ sucks but unfortunately he's paid too much not to start, Quickley was the best player in this trade he needs to start.

Starting line up probably stays the same with RJ filling in for OG.

TorontoBarneys · Post #8 » by **TorontoBarneys** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 5:49 pm

Siakam
Barnes
Quickley
Barrett
Poeltl
Schroeder
Trent Jr.
Porter Jr.
Boucher

Not a bad 9-man rotation?

Dark horses this year: Dick & McDaniels.

Siakam
Barnes
Barrett
Poeltl
Trent Jr.

IQ is the PG of the future. He's starting.

Yep, down the stretch of last season with Brunson down. Check out his game log. It's impressive.

Not a bad rotation. Would be even better if we could flip Poeltl for a mobile C. Siakam would likely command a strong return but seems like we’re gonna resign him.

Darko looking at the trade details trying to figure out how he's gonna manage the rotation now

YogurtProducer · Post #14 » by **YogurtProducer** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 6:10 pm

Quickley/Trent/Barnes/Siakam/Jak
Dennis/Barrett/OPJ/Boucher

That’s the 9. Hopefully Kokomo returns and Boucher/Thad/ OPJ are packaged for something better

22/5/5 guy as a starter on elite efficiency. Guy could be a star once he gets his opportunity.

I want to see the fit with IQ at PG with Barnes but if you keep him in the bench role you might be keeping the overall numbers down and getting him for a cheaper contract as a result. The reports were he's looking for 20-25 million a year, those are numbers I would be happy to pay but if he explodes as a starter which seems possible you might end up having to pay a lot more. It's a good problem to have ultimately but still something to consider.

Keep his butt glued to bench. We need a few long term bargain contracts on this team

Let's face it, Darko's defensive schemes aren't that great. I'd go for maximum offensive output in the starting lineup:

IQ
GTJ
Barrett
Barnes
Siakam

Off the bench you have Schroeder who can backup both guard spots, Boucher backing up the F/C spots and OPJ backing up 3/4. Poeltl will be matchup dependant.
