FA: Buddy Hield to GSW | 3yrs/21mil

Cool. Instead of (or in addition to) pointless additions, could this possibly have some overlap with the Stein news about them looking for another guard?

ONLY if it helps in the touch rule, which means that guard is coming to Mavs from GS, CHA, PHI, or MIN, and/or the player the Mavs are sending away goes to one of those teams. But adding a 6th team would add another layer of needless complexity to everyone else, and since the Mavs can easily take back the player contract they want in this possible exercise (multiple exceptions, for both signing or trading), I wouldn't expect to see team 6 added.

Added - I went back and logged the team ties, and unless I missed something, the team touches so far are as follows --
DAL -- GS CHA PHI
CHA -- DAL MIN
GS -- DAL MIN PHI
MIN -- GS CHA
PHI -- GS DAL
