Yeah, I agree that Seth playing a good amount of minutes off the bench is probably the best way to utilize him next year and having a big PG next to him would be ideal. Hopefully we bring him back next season because he's one of the few young players we have who's exceeded expectations this year. In the draft Kris Dunn probably has the size to defend SGs so that could be an option if he's still there when we're drafting. I'm not fully sold on his PG skills, but the league seems to be trending toward scoring PGs anyway. I also like Dejounte Murray -- he's probably more of a bench option because I don't see him playing PG full-time in the NBA, but he could be a good fit next to Seth Curry on the bench. He's a bigger guard who can handle the ball, defend wing players, and get to the basket which would make him a good rotation guard. Or another option might be trading Rudy Gay for Tyreke Evans and signing/drafting a SF.
Regardless of ideal fit though, I do think Curry has played well enough to make Collison available in trade. And McLemore is fading into irrelevance for us and probably needs a fresh start somewhere else. I thought his second year showed promise but then he regressed this year. I'd try to work out a trade with Cleveland if Lebron still wants Ben on the team. I was against the idea mid-season, but Ben looks done in Sacramento so I'm warming up to Iman Shumpert as a trade target. His shooting is a problem (though he did have 1 year in New York where he shot 40% from three on 127 attempts), but we'd be getting him to set the tone defensively at SG while we get our scoring punch off the bench from Curry and whoever we get to compliment him. Collison and McLemore for Shumpert works salary-wise. I don't think Rondo/Shumpert is what most people have in mind for an ideal backcourt, but we can explore our options at PG in the off-season. We know we need to get better defensively regardless -- particularly on the perimeter -- and a quality defender at SG would be a good start.
