THJ was the 1st option on the Knicks while here, he was the 3rd option. Buddy was the 2nd,3rd option on the Kings last season behind Fox, with Bogdan. So it's fair to compare both seasons.
And saying THJ had an outlier year. He was good in ATL and he has a defined role in DAL. They also said, at the beggining of the season, that they've(Carlisle) made a minor adjustment in THJ's shot, and it clearly was a good adjustment. THJ will be a 40+ 3P% shooter this year. He is a great and thankfull player, that shows effort on D(meanwhile Buddy makes Boban look like AD/Giannis with his defense). Also Buddy is a one dimensional shooter(altho a great one), but this team doesn't need one dimensional players. The mavs need the exact opposite.
Can I borrow your crystal ball?
If you don't want one dimensional players, that should cross both THJ and Hield off your list.
If THJ ends up with a similar contract and given the choice, I know who I'd choose.
