Do you believe that Dennis Schroeder is legit? After several years of middling around as a moderate point guard, in a season where former playoff success has melted away into literal bottom-feeder status, Shroeder has taken a step forward as an offensive point guard, exactly what the Phoenix Suns need at this moment. With his age of 24 and a very comfortable contract through 2020-21, if Schroeder is legit, he could be the absolute perfect point guard to trade for.

What it would cost the Suns? I’m not exactly sure. Because of his spike in stats and his affordable contract there will be a bidding war if Atlanta makes him available. But if the Hawks would take Miami’s pick plus a young player of their choice, while shipping over a nasty contract like Kent Bazemore or Miles Plumlee (seriously, what was Atlanta thinking there), then Schroeder might be had.
