Buddy should be massively available with Fox and HBurton Sac's future

well we aren't getting a perfect guy. there will always be a "yeah but" with anyone we acquire

the shitty contract should drive his price down to almost nothing. that's the positive spin on a trade. Beal would cost the war chest and Lavine would be slightly less. Buddy is a negative asset for SAC so we could get him as a stop gap (the positive spin)

i disagree, BUT i understand we may have to settle for a lower-level player. the appeal of Buddy is that he should be cheap

if we really give up assets for him, it's terrible

Give crewz shite all you want but he had an intriguing idea that could do a lot of good for this roster and that’s trying to trade for Gallinari

Definitely would help with bench scoring.

I don’t understand why you guys want to give away assets for some success for this season with vet acquisitions. This team even through trades at best is a 8 seed lose in the first round team. Is increasing the chances of making the playoff this year really that important? I just think a lot of you are thinking way too shortsightedly. Unless we’re getting these guys for real cheap. (You’re not getting Galo or Hield for cheap)

The attitude is what worries me, not really the contract.

It’s not ideal, but it is a declining contract that goes from 24 this year down to 18 by his final year.

Do not want Lavigne.

I’d be torn on the Beall situation.

Buddy is exactly what we need but his contract sucks and he’s not a great locker room guy.

who would rather Ball over Buddy if Ball signed the exact contract Buddy was given?

Lonzo.

Even with his putrid start, Lonzo is shooting less than 1% worse than Buddy from three. And he’s better at nearly everything else.

Buddy can come in and be a JJ replacement/upgrade immediately, though.

to me it's more cycling contracts (and assets)

do you want to give a max deal to ball? let him walk? JJ is gone this offseason and we need to recycle his contract to be flexible in the future

etc

I don’t know if you are right. If he continues this sort of production, Klutch will work a back door deal to land ball and whomever else to capitalize on the market and their client.
