Not in the scenario I just wrote. He would be playing next to Curry in this scenario. Imagine 2 deep ball threats around Simmons and Embiid. Simmons slides to SF most of the time on defense anyhow.the_process wrote:Sportfan73 wrote:51X3RF4N wrote:The only thing I'd consider is using Green in a trade for a starting SG who has 1 of 2 skill sets. 1) efficient volume 3pt shooting or 2) shot creation ability
Green is great for what he brings, but I think replacing him with a better shooter or better scorer changes the dynamic of the starting lineup. And his defense is good, but inconsistent so using Thybulle in the stopper role through the rotation might be better anyhow.
I am all about getting guys on decent contracts who are locked up for 3+ years because otherwise it's hard to build around this group with limited cap.
What about this?
Let's say Sacramento wants to hand the keys to Haliburton and Fox, and decides its time to move Buddy in the right deal....
And let's say Dallas decides they need some more catch and shoot guys in the rotation...
To Dallas: Danny Green, Furkan, Bjelica and some picks from Philly
To SAC: Mike Scott, James Johnson, Tony Bradley, Ferguson and some picks from Philly
To PHI: Maxi Kleber, Buddy Hield, Boban
Why for PHI: Buddy in the starting group over Danny provides a high volume, 40% 3pt shooter who has deep range to pair with Embiid, and adds to the spacing Seth provides for both Simmons and Embiid. His defense is not great, and would hurt with Seth starting next to him, but Simmons and Embiid can make up for some of that and the offense would be SO much better with Buddy in there. Also, his contract is favorable and not expiring. Kleber fits well off the bench and is on a reasonable deal, and has history playing with Seth. Boban returns and makes Tobias happy, even though his minutes will be limited. Give up future picks to secure players on long term deals now.
Why for SAC: clear out Buddy's salary and get picks as compensation.
Why for Dallas: mix it up by getting guys who help a playoff run this year, and picks for the future.
Now the picks would be likely quite valuable but I think it's worth it to have 10 guys locked up under contract for multiple years through at least Embiid's deal. They're good fits and they build continuity.
Develop Maxey, Joe and Reed for future.

Doubt sac needs many pics to get off of Buddy’s contract for all expirings
Buddy Hield would be replacing Seth Curry, not Danny Green.
