He played so well that they drafted Ja as starting PG, traded Wright and replaced him with Young and Melton, both considerably younger. I really don't see Memphis have any interest in him. Might be others, though, I think it is a valid proposal

Brunson wasn't great next to Luka. He is great back up PG though. Or even an ok first PG, when Luka is injured.

Sure we do. But so does everyone else. Assuming you can't get one. Do you stay pat and wait for 2021 or do you try to improve differently? And of course, DeRozan trade wasn't about DeRozan, it was about dumping all our bad money for a DeRozan (and Aldridge) experiment. If he doesn't work, he is gone in 2021 and we have all our core (KP, Luka, Curry, DFS, Maxi, Brunson) and 50 mil of cap space. The only thing we are basically losing with that proposal is THJ.
