Trade & FA 2023-24: HOU Targeting Mikal Bridges again!| Mitchell is LAL #1 Target

Love the thinking behind replacing THJ with Fournier just to cut him to make room to re-sign Quickly. That part is inspired, and IQ is a player I'd want. 

But, I continue to be amazed at how that UNPROTECTED '27 is burning a hole in people's pockets around here. To me, that's worth more than any asset the Mavs have other than Luka. I'm not trading it for a backup PG, sorry. I just can't get there.

IQ would immediately be the third best player on our team.  He is great defensively and pretty good on offense.  He can play either guard spot and just turned 24.  Coincidentally, IQ has a very high basketball IQ.  He has also thrived under one the league's toughest coaches.  I think he's worth the 2027 1st as well as Jaden Hardy.  I still think the Knicks would say no to that deal.  I believe that trade would give us one of the 8 best rosters in the NBA if it happened.  Hell yes to Immanuel Quickley.
