Do you think Hield will be happy with lower usage? Is the expected improvement enough to justify whatever else is involved (rotation player/rookie/pick)?
Hield is a career 41% 3PT Shooter, THJ 35%. Last year was a bit of an outlier for THJ. One player had the benefit of the Dallas offense, the other had Luke Walton. If you need a guy to get you 20, I think either will do. If you need a guy to get you 30, I know my choice.
Hield's also on a friendly, long term contract. If he fits, that's great. If he doesn't, you could probably move him somewhat easily.
No clue if he'd be happy with lower usage. There are certainly red flags in his effort and attitude. It's part of the reason he'd be gettable over say someone like Lavine.
