There's been a lot of talk about Jalen Suggs and his contract. There's a lot of talk of trades and everything else but we haven't talked about thoughts of our rookies Noah and Jase. While Penda at times looked better than TDS and other times didn't. He clearly got more minutes than Jase and even fans are saying we need a "real" point guard and overlooking Jase.

When Magic had Tyus, fans were begging Mose to play Jase more. Once we got Jevon Carter, the consensus seemed to be ok with allowing Jase to ride the bench. Any faith in Jase being the point guard of the future? Should he just come of the bench? Or would you rather he be packages in a trade?

Hypothetical thinking that trading Kawhi to Portland for Shaedon Sharpe, Jrue Holiday, and one or two 1st round picks could be a fair trade.

Shaedon Sharpe avg: 20pts/4reb/3ast/1.4stl.

Sharpe 45%fg and 34% 3pt range and is an athletic 6'5" guard w/ 7ft wingspan, could play in a fast paced offense and has one of the highest vertical leaps in the NBA (he's a lob threat), becoming more of a 2-way player. At just 22 years old, he'd be one of the best guards on the roster and if Clips keep Garland, we'd need lengthy, athletic guards around him. 2026-2027 salary: $20million

Jrue Holiday avg: 16pts, 5reb, 6ast plus 1stl.

Jrue shoots 45%FG and 38% from 3pt range. As a leader, mentor and veteran who is elite on defense, and efficient on offense, can play either PG or SG, guard multiple positions and be integrated into the roster or flipped for other assets. 2026-2027 salary: $34.8million.

Either way, What do you all think, would this be better than the proposed GSW or Miami Heat trades that have been continuously floated as possibilities?
