They need a guy that can be a ball handler but also a ISO scorer that can demand double teams which is why Derozan is at the top of my list but I fear he will be a Laker.
The other guy I like is Dennis Schroeder should he leave the Lakers.
The guy we get needs to be able to be a creator while also able to create and score consistently
My top 5 choices in that regard are
1. Zach Lavine
2. Demar Derozan
3. Kyle Lowery
4. Mike Conley
5. Spencer Dinwiddie
Brogdon would be on that list for me as well but again his game is more facilitate and spot up shoot. We need a guy that can score at multiple levels like Luka.
I feel like this is completely ignoring the defensive side of the ball. We are already way better offensively than defensively. Not sure why we would spend our remaining assets making a really good offense better and ignoring a middling defense at best (which is what options 1, 2 and 5 would do). That is not a route to contention. The top priority on a shooting guard next to Luka is a high level defender that does not hurt you on offense (both Wright and JRich have already failed that second part). It would be very helpful if that player could take some play making duties off Luka's shoulders. A final bonus would be if that player could create, but guys that fit all three of those are max contract stars and I don't see a path to getting one of them.
I could see an argument for Conley and Lowry being ahead of Brogdon on that list, but the timeline does not fit.
