At least Barrett + Quickley are young and don't play the 4. I wish they weren't paid as much as they are, but it's not like they are scrubs either. I looked at their salaries and looks like Quickly is more overpaid than Barret. I'm hoping something better comes along, but I think I can live with Barrett + Quickley along with one first round pick, but preferably 2. Does Quickly become the 6th man once Kyrie is healthy? Can't play a back court with 2 short guards.

Nothing like paying 32 mil for a 6th man.  And what happens if our best option in the draft is a PG?  Seems like a cluster to develop what will hopefully be an elite PG with both Quickley and Kyrie on the roster.  And there will be no way to move off that Quickly contract without attaching asset(s).  Those two players will negatively impact the tank as well.  I think I would rather hold onto AD if this is my only option.
