Toronto is looking to compete in the open East this season. I don't think they can afford to give up their starting PG. All they have behind him is a 23 year old kid playing 20 minutes a game.
It’s a bit much for his production but not terrible Imo. He is in his mid 20s, if you squeeze your eyes enough you still see some upside.
What I like about Quickley are his PnR stats. He doesnt run a ton of plays but when he does he is efficient at it. That + his durability and (afaik) solid defense immediatedly raises the floor of this squad for the upcoming season. His salary is also flat according to bballref.com which softens the hit on your cap sheet over the years.
I am not overly enthusiastic either and would happily take back more value but I think a package around Barrett + Quickley is smth to work with.
Maybe you could plug in Naji to soften the lack of playmaking for TOR.
Poeltl OTOH is someone I would stay far away from. That is a truly bad contract. Not hard to see that turn into a stretch and waive type of situation in a year or two.
