We went from a top 5 offense pre trade deadline to a bottom 5 offense post trade deadline. I understand this wasn't all because of moving Mike, but a lot of it was, in my opinion.

Currently our best passers, are THT and KO. I don't think I really see either of them in our future.

Agree to disagree. The offense dropped off for obvious reasons besides Mike, and when Mike was still on the team the starters performed the same when Sexton played PG.

I think it's important if we're going to utilize Lauri as much as possible and play to his strengths. His efficiency dipped the last couple months of the season after Mike was gone. He's not an isolation guy, so I think it's important to have a really good point guard to set him up.

I think what's more important than having a "pass first PG" is a guy who can break down the defense. The quality of passer doesn't mean much if the ball handler isn't able to break down the defense and bring them into rotation. Even if one PG is a better passer than the other, it does not mean it will lead to less isolation for Lauri.

Oh... I didn't mean it as a knock on IQ. I think he would help out... I still think it would be a need for us to consider with the other starters and bench guys as we fill out the roster. I think IQ's passing would be a benefit to acquiring him. Like if we have IQ, Ochai, Lauri, and Walker... I may not want DFS as the SF. I would look to add some passing at SG/SF to supplement for what we lack.

Honestly, given how we don’t have great playmakers to build with at the moment, that makes Ochai even more meh to me in the context of the build. Just not a lot of dimensionality to his game. That is just dandy if you’re set with star-power, but we ain’t that.

This brings me no joy... but... @KqWIN is right... we need to trade for Immanuel Quickley.

His on/off diff over his career is bonkers. He's been ranked like 35th, 3rd, and 21st. His numbers as a starter are bonkers. He likely can be extended this offseason for about 4/80M before his raw stats go crazy as a full-time starter. Knicks likely won't want to keep him as a backup forever and we can offer another pick they can use for their eventual star trade.

I would hope to get him for just one of our premium picks... but I'd also consider taking Fournier's 1 year left as well too. Hopefully would not require more than that... but if there is a little more we should consider it. IQ is the answer at pg.

……Brodie I invented us getting IQ.
