Apparently he’s asking for around 5 years/120M
Is it me or does Domas remind y’all of a smaller JV?

5yr 120 isnt allowed, the 5 year deal can only be a max (5yr 170), so he must be asking for 4 yr 120M

These types of quotes tell me he is still immature and has an overinflated ego. He's a good player, but already a finished product (turns 27 in couple months, basically just a few years younger than Ibaka). If he came here, he'd definitely feel entitled to be the #1 option, and would probably become a locker room issue if the team didn't revolve around him.

or he's a business man that's not gonna beat around the bush.

Nope. There are absolutely better ways to approach this situation than **** on your current franchise by saying "No big free agent has ever come to Sacramento" and implying that they'll never come there either, so they better pay up. That's not how businessmen handle their business. Not by burning bridges.

It's crazy to me the way that he has reacted to it. A lot of these conversations should definitely be happening behind closed doors. It seems like Buddy wants out, there is no other way around it.
With Barnes making $19-$23 million per season over the next four years, Buddy wanting $25+ million, and both Fox and Bagley to plan for, it's tough to dish out all that money to Hield.
They might as well wait and see what he gets as a restricted free agent. Who is going to pay that much? They can always match and trade him if that's going to be better for them long term. Hield is in a contract year, he's going to play for his money regardless.
