Dennis Schroder

If Dallas plans to hit big with a free agent in the point guard category, it will have to be either Rose or Schroder. These two guys are the only real intriguing names at the position that will be available.

In some cases, it makes sense to even prefer Dennis Schroder over Rose. He is lightning quick, hasn’t had nearly the injury concern of Rose, and is younger.

It seems as if the Hawks were ready to make him their starting point guard when they traded Jeff Teague. But, that doesn’t necessarily mean he stays. Atlanta will be granted the option to match any offer he gets. But, there will be tons of money going around this offseason. It’ll be interesting to see what Atlanta does here.

If Dallas could land Schroder, it would provide a young, speedy point guard who can attack the rim and pass very well. This is something the Mavericks haven’t had in a long, long time.
