Can?t move White. Pritchard is not a starting caliber PG. He is solid as a 6th man, but not a starter. Teams attack him and he becomes a liability defensively. I?d trade them Jrue, though. Maybe they bite with Haliburton out. I do like Mathurin.
pretty sure Pritchard's gonna be starting next year no matter what.
Plus Indiana would never consider this deal for Holiday
Yeah, I don't have a problem with Pritchard starting. I think he can start for 10-12 teams in the league. While Pritchard is not a plus defender he is an adequate one. I would be fine with him as our starting PG.
As an alternative, in this trade idea, you could start Jrue at PG and Mathurin at SG and keep Pritchard in a bench role. You lose ball-handling and passing from Pritchard but in Mathurin you have a defender who cannot be matchup hunted as well. You could even start Toppin too while Tatum is out.
G: Jrue, Pritchard
G: Mathurin, Scheierman
F: Jaylen, Hauser
F: O Toppin, Horford
C: Porzingis, Queta
Assuming Kornet leaves. Tatum comes back as starting PF. Toppin becomes main backup big. Long term replacement for Horford once Horford decides to retire.
