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

[DanSchwartzgan]

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

This is good info.

What if McCain came to Dallas, Hardy went to Minnesota and NAW went to Philly.  That gets us a younger PG behind Exum and clarifies the Hardy/Grimes thing at SG.  It also gets you a few more touches that you don’t have.
