FA: Buddy Hield to GSW | 3yrs/21mil

[KillerLeft]

Interesting take take on how GSW can view/spin Klay vs Buddy.  Buddy younger (31) still a volume 3 point option and perhaps in their mind the defensive difference isn't significant with this version of Klay? 

I mean, facts are facts, and that defensive rating is worth noting, for sure. 

But, my instincts say that it will be far easier for Thompson to adjust to life in the simpler Dallas system (even if they beef it up, which I hope they do) than it will be for Hield to catch up to the career's worth skillset Thompson developed in order to thrive in that GS system. He's an off-ball shooter, yes, but Draymond Green is always talking about how difficult it is for players to grasp their offense, saying it sometimes takes 2-3 years before they get it, and that some never do. 

I think the Warriors are kind of done, unless (and maybe even if) they trade all their picks for Markkannen, which they'd have to be certifiably insane to do.
