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.
I disagree. Not with your valuation of IQ, though I think there's room for disagreement there.
Really, my issue is about sending out the last great asset the team has for a THIRD ball-handler. Because that's what IQ would be HERE, regardless of how good you think/know he is.
Show me another deal that turns Kyrie into something the Mavs need and I might rethink.
