I think we need Shake to come around, because he could fill the biggest hole on our roster - a backup guard that can pass and shoot a little. I know he hasn’t been able to do either consistently with the Wolves, but we’ve seen him do it in PHI. I think Connelly and Finch probably believe that Philly Milton is still inside him.
However, I could see them trade Wendell Moore Jr to a young team for a vet min back up PG that would be happier on a playoff-bound team. Is Frank Ntilinka or Kris Dunn any better than what we have now?
I don't see much value in Ntilikina, but I could see Dunn getting playing time. Dunn's defense, ball handling, and surprisingly decent 3pt shooting could make him a useful player, especially if the team is trying to keep Conley's minutes under 30 a game. Adding another switchable point-of-attack defender accentuates the team's biggest strength which makes a lot of sense to me.
Basically, I think Dunn would be a better PG option than NAW/Milton and might work better than Kyle with faster pace players like Naz.
