Yea, reading between the lines, sounds like Vivek and Aneel don't want to trade Buddy. And if Buddy remains a King, I look forward to him coming off the bench in the 2h when Haliburton is inserted into the starting line up.
Also, do think there is a 50.5% chance the Kings match Bogi and keep both Buddy and Bogi--not because McNair wants to, but that may be the only way to trade one or both later, because of Vivek's fondness for Buddy. I'd rather just let Bogi walk and trade Buddy as well.
Sounds like they want to retain Bogdan and the FO doesn’t
I don’t see anything about desiring to keep Buddy by mentioning his lack of trade market
Amick used the words "if there is no real viable market for Buddy" and ..."the premise that Buddy's trade market is non-existent. If true..."
He could very easily mentioned the above without throwing in Vivek and Aneel. If Buddy's market is non-existent, so be it. Why add Vivek and Aneel? If true...no real market...reading between the lines, seems to indicate not so much that there isn't a trade market, but rather Vivek and Aneel don't want to lower what they're asking for Buddy. In other words, they don't want to trade him while the Kings FO may be willing to punt Buddy and keep Bogi.
Vivek and Aneel are being mentioned because they are seemingly involved (meddling) in the process and probably need to be convinced keeping Bogdan isn’t a good idea - hence the timing of this during the 48 hour window
The whole segment comes from the perspective that because Buddy’s trade value is non existent, the Kings (FO) shouldn’t want to keep Bogdan. Meaning that someone, presumably ownership, wants to keep Bogdan, even though circumstances aren’t allowing it.
I’m not seeing how a “non existent” trade market equals a non good one.
