What we need, I think, is a list of pick and roll PG targets who:
A) aren't already established building block stars, like Haliburton or Brunson (just as examples) and therefore not attainable at all
B) play at least passable defense (bc Nico Harrison)
C) are available for Gafford, PJW, Thompson, Marshall, or, in extreme pipe dream scenarios, a combination of some of those assets? That would have to be an expensive household name player, so probably not likely, but finding a guy equivalent to one of those guys is possible, I hope.
D) Ideally, this is someone either the league has forgotten about because he's gotten stuck in a bad situation (like what they rescued PJW and Gafford from) or someone who hasn't quite come into their own yet, but is about to. It might be good to start with teams that have 2-3 competent pick and roll guards competing with each other, making them more available, because I'm pretty confident a team like that is going to need SOMETHING the Mavs currently have a lot of, lol. The Mavs are deep everywhere except PG.
