Honestly, as more time goes by, the more I feel the need to trade Buddy. Yeah, the hustle and work ethic are great, as is his 3 pointer when he’s making them. But imo, the multiple brain dead plays per game (whether a bad turnover, defensive breakdown, etc.) and the I don’t want to come off the bench attitude have turned me cold. IMO, guys that get butt hurt about come off the bench vs. starting aren’t truly team players. That’s just me.
As for Bagley, I can see the improvement on defense. There were multiple times where he was left on an island as a defender and I thought he did a solid job. Yeah, he got worked by Randle a few times, but Randle is a good player playing at or near an all star level, so I’m not going to dump on him for that.
I enjoy your pods. Keep up the good work.
We at HB appreciate you taking the time to reply to a pod thread!
Thanks for listening John. Can certainly understand your frustrations with Buddy, and then he will throw in a game like today. The next couple weeks will be interesting as contracts start being tradable and trade season really begins.
