This is the unfortunate reality of Deuce breaking out.
Unless we plan on starting him at SG over Donte longterm, which I doubt, then he’ll at best be in another Quickley situation here once everyone is healthy. If he gets all the backup PG and SG minutes he can get up to around 28 mpg perhaps, but we probably still want to upgrade the starters further.
A package of Mitch, Deuce, Bojan, and picks can get something juicy if we want it. Deuce and Mitch are on great contracts, Bojan is expiring, and we have a surplus of picks.
Or we just trade Julius instead.
Either way, we have had a fun season, but this isnt the final championship squad unless we shock the world this year. At some point we are going all in, and a few more guys are going to be moved. Depth is nice, but we could still upgrade basically every starter slightly except PG.
So not to rain on the parade, but I wouldn’t get too attached to Deuce fellas. Leon is cold, and already shipped out RJ, IQ, Obi, and Grimes no problem.
