Well, some of the descriptors in your sig seem to scream forward to me, and even if you don't agree with that, they aren't on my list of needs, personally.
But, deciding PJW/Flagg is less than an ideal fit does NOT require a specific person to replace him. It just doesn't.
I think (personally, could be wrong) that it would be better to get anything of value for PJW now, before his deal inevitably (imo) starts to look worse and worse as a result of what I perceive to be his poor fit with Flagg. I might not feel this way if I thought the team was likely to be competitive in the very near future, but I don't. To be clear, I think changing out some of the ill-fitting parts for-better fitting ones is the ONLY chance of being good, but not guaranteed to make the team better at all, so because I have reached THAT conclusion, I'm no longer looking at it in terms of making the team immediately better or worse, just in terms of remaking the team around Flagg. That's my only guiding star, and I'm resigned to the idea that it will take as long as it takes. In other words, I'd be fine with "losing" a PJW trade, as long as it gains traction on the "pile of assets" level. I'm there, finally.
Primary Ball Handler. That's priority #1, and I'd be willing to trade anyone not named Flagg to get him. Period.
After that, SHOOTING.
