Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[KillerLeft]

I know your biggest concern is creation, followed by floor spacing. Needle-moving large-for-position point guards are at a very high premium. What would be your ideal backcourt acquisition?

I would be looking for any ball-handling guard who could create offense at an elite level, or had the potential to grow into that description. 

I know why your list started with "good positional size for a SG"...because that's the model we saw work here with Luka/Kyrie. But for me, "fits with Kyrie" is only a temporary requirement, and so I wouldn't really consider it a requirement at all. That's not born of some need to get rid of Kyrie (I think they clearly aren't), but all I'd be looking at are players' fits with Flagg, Johnson and (probably still, for me) Lively.
