There has not been much mention of Quickley. Money wise I think you could do AD for Quickley and Barrett. I like Quickley but there are issues. He is a good player but he is making 32 million a year for the next 3 1/2 years. Thats a lot (in fact all of their contracts are over priced). He is also a good defender, but he is small and can get bullied. Not sure he is the right fit next to Kyrie if you are keeping him.
The other issue is Quickley is their primary PG. Not sure how they would fill that hole if they sent him out. Trading for AD is a win now move. They could live without Barett and they could live without Poeltl (if they get AD) but harder to replace Quickley.
