Dennis Schroeder "will seek other opportunities to be a starter"...

“My goal is to start as point guard” Schroder said. “If this doesn’t happen, I will look for other opportunities” added the German talent. “The Hawks are a great team, the city is nice and everything is perfect now. Teague? He was an All-Star and he helped me a lot. I must be patient and work hard and eventually I’ll have my opportunities” ended Schroder.

What would you give up for him? Burks + first? Burke + 2 firsts?

Discuss?

He is better than Burke but not by leaps and bounds. He plays in a system where 4 three point shooters are on the floor at any given time. Must be nice to have that spacing.

He can seek all he wants, he is in his 3rd year and will be a RFA. Unless he wants to sign a QO for a 5th year and become a UFA, he really has no choice in the matter.

Exum for Schroeder straight up.

Uh... He's WAY better than Burke.

 

[Siro]

A year older than Exum, not same potential, but a sure thing. I hope the Jazz get it done.

Edit: Nearly 2 years older, I just checked. Still. Very young and very talented.

Burke and that OKC 1st

I told y'all this would happen.

Exum for Schroeder straight up.

I want Schro, but hell no.

 

[Siro]

I want Schro, but hell no.

Why not though? Too many question marks around Exum. Will he retain his quickness after the injury? Will it affect his desperately needed confidence? Will he be able to develop a decent offensive game? Will he be good enough within a reasonable time-frame to compete while the team still has its core?

With Schroeder, you get one of the best young PGs in the league who can already produce at a high level. He can probably be signed for a reasonable amount of money, and it makes sense for Atlanta since they can take their time developing Exum behind Teague.

In what advanced metric? You'll have to make a new one up.

 

[NAOS]

I still think that Exum has a higher ceiling, that's why.

I've followed Schro since he emerged as a prospect. And I'm a fan. I still wouldn't do it.

I'd give Burke and two picks though. That's a pretty decent haul. And Burke would probably be better in their system than he is here. Hawks probably say No.

he's better at playing basketball

he's better at playing basketball on a better team

fixed

ATL broke out just last year. Dennis was a key part of that. You'll think I'm over-stating things when I say that. I'm not. He wasn't a core piece. But he was an important part of how the Hawks kept the pedal to the metal. He's better than Burke by a significant margin on both sides of the ball.

 

[Siro]

I still think that Exum has a higher ceiling, that's why.

Like I said in my post, it's a risk worth taking. If the choice is between trading Exum or Burke + picks, then I would do the latter. But I would give up Exum before I would Burks. For one, Burks' offense is badly needed, and I think he has room to become a very good player. Second, Shroeder would need to get paid, and Exum's pay day arrives soon after. I don't think the Jazz can afford that many highly paid players. Third, soon after acquiring Schroeder we would have to choose between them anyway. I don't buy Exum at the 2 unless some miracle happens. We would have given up Burks for practically nothing.

you cross those bridges when you have to. What if Hayward opts out and doesn't want to return? There's an open max slot for you. Having too much talent (relative to market value or any other metric) is a good problem to have. I think Shro and Exum will both be mid-30s 3-point shooters, which is enough to play them alongside one another.

They've actually played one game in the same backcourt: the Nike Hoops Summit where they slashed the USA to death.

The more I watch the higher end teams in the league, the more I think high end talent is integral when constructing potential contenders. That's why I wouldn't trade Exum - I think he has high end talent and even if the chance of him reaching that ceiling is not great, I'd rather give up other lesser assets(picks) than him.

The league has definitely moved that way since always.

 

[franklin]

We're still talking about trading assets for a sub? A guy who might be top 25-30 in the league on a good team?
