This is where the complaining is overextended. I'm not sure Hield is any better than THJ.

I think Hield is pretty easily better than THJ. The latter has the insane ability to completely disappear for a game. I don't see that in Hield, who is a better shooter and possibly a better defender, certainly a tick better rebounding.

Maybe, but I don't think it's enough on it's own.
Now, a package of Bagley/Hield is something to look at.

Someone mentioned Tristan Thompson before. A Hield/Thompson trade could help on two fronts. Hield is very similar to THJ though. Just a better shooter, would probably look great getting feeds from Luka and would space the floor.

Buddy Hield can actually create his own shot for starters.
He's not just a Catch and shoot player like THJ.
Don't let the numbers fool you in Sacramento. He's a better overall player than THJ and put him next to Luka he will kill it on open looks.
Just look up his 3-Pt % on open shots and it's not even close between him and THJ.

Spot on. We tend to fall in love with our own replacement level players. There some here that actually believe JB is a top half of the league point guard. We can be a delusional lot.

Not sure many, if any, are making that claim. He's definitely sniffing starting level PG for sure. His step forward is a breath of fresh air given our other younger pieces or lack thereof.
You might have been better off mentioning Powell or DFS, but not JB. Kid has been balling.

The consensus opinion around the league is that the Mavs will have to spend to retain him, because other teams are going to pay up.

Oh boy we better pony up because there is now way to find a JB caliber player anywhere. He is easily a top 28 PG in the league.

To be clear JB is not our problem but may be a piece we can trade to facilitate additional moves to replace the Josh Green, Richardson, and Bullock whiffs. Not sure we will ever recover from the 2019/2020 offseason in Luka's tenure with the Mavs. No certainty we can ever make up for that miss. Lets just come to terms with that and we will all feel better. Tyrese Maxey, Desmond Bane, Saddiq Bey, Precious Achiwua et al. A blind folded Donnie throwing 3 darts at the available picks on the board would have yielded a better pick just from a pure probability perspective. We literally had to try to suck and we succeeded.
