This board seemed pretty happy about trading Seth Curry for Josh Richardson. Yes, we give up a little shooting, but we gain significantly on the defensive end.
But when it comes to Buddy Hield, suddenly we're trying to get back Seth. Gain some shooting at the expense of a little better defense by THJ.
Not consistent.
Maybe it's just that Hield is the shiny new toy...
Not this small portion of "the board". Ten foot pole. No interest in Buddy.

If you exclude the game five blowout:
The team was -13. THJ was -61. Didn´t have a positive +/- in any game.
Last season he averaged 5.9 (added up rebounds/assists/blocks/assists) per game. He had a little higher assist numbers in NYC, but even as the virtual #1 option he never topped 2.7 APG. Outside of his 3pt shooting he contributes very little to the Mavs all-around and we have consistently heard they are looking for a second play-maker.
Super small sample size while the team was ravaged with injuries. I'd have to go back to Popcorn Machine, but I recall THJ playing a lot of minutes when Luka sat trying to be the starter who held the bench together offensively. There is a big difference between his ability to do that and what he looks like as a 4th option.
BTW, for the full season the O was 3.2 pp100 better when he played and the D was 0.6 pp100 worse for a net of 2.6 to the good.
