Buddy is the better, pure shooter and would likely embrace his role as the designated sniper for the second unit in DAL. It's difficult to make personal sacrifices when you're playing for a dumpster fire of an organization. Here, with the culture and aiming for a Top 4 seed for your hometown team? I don't see the issue. Plus, even if it were a wash, getting off the last, two years of THJ is significant for us. Hield could have real value if he shines here. One of the biggest things hamstringing us in deals right now is the lack of a sizeable expiring. He would represent an upgrade that helps to upgrade further, down the road, as we churn our roster and get our draft pick flexibility back.
