We KNOW the SAC owner loves Hield, who has always been his favorite toy. I find it credible that the only way they'd move him is to rid themselves of Bagley, and that keeping Holmes might just be the motivational nudge that makes it all happen.
I like Hield, but I think I've given up on Bagley. If it's for Powell, sure. If it's for Kleber...I think I'd be disappointed. But, maybe I'm just overly attached to our guys.
Bagley is a prime buy low candidate. We are talking about a guy that averages 15/8 in 26 MPG over just 114 career games. He could easily do a Julius Randle. People act like he´s Anthony Bennett. Getting picked between Luka, Young and Ayton has driven down the perception about him. Sure there are question marks about health, defense, attitude, but imho nothing major that a 21 year old can´t fix or overcome. Also is a contract year for him and you control him via RFA. Hield´s contract will likely also be shorter than THJ´s new contract, and it´s decreasing so the annual salary will probably even overlap in two years.
