So hlwhat are the avenues forward?
1.let bogie walk and get zero in return and not much usuable cap space as is (there is a sac tax to get even mediocre players to the kings). You arent stacking picks or getting any young pieces or even "adding by subtraction" as some claim because Bogie is neither a toxic presence nor has he been a disgruntled player as boogie was. He just wants his $$ and stability in his play time/usage.
2. Match bogie and keep both him and a disgruntled Buddy and hope it all works out and again be staring at the 10 seed?
3. Match Bogie and try to deal buddy +/- others (bagley, bjeli, or picks etc) to get pieces and or picks.
I honestly think that between bogie and buddy, there is not a night and day difference. One is an elite albeit sometimes streaky shooter but makes dumb decisions and is utterly untrustworthy with the ball, worse even in clutch time. The other is a reasonable ballhandler and can make good plays (but can also be a bit selfish). Neither is a good defender but i think Bogie is probably the better locker room guy (his team mates seem to genuinely like him) whereas Buddy is just kinda there. If im in charge and i want some semblance of improvement and stability. You gain zero from getting rid of Bogie for nothing. Absolutely zero. No picks. No pieces. No creating space for another person to flourish as Monte Ellis' move allowed for steph. You dont even know what you have with Halliburton yet sonto say bogie is Monte is premature.
Moving Buddy is likely to net you pieces to make you better in the future. It will definitely prevent the toxicity of sitting on him and watching him implode the locker room until you are forced to move him from scraps. Remember, this is the same guy who flashed money signs during a game to vlade, he will absolutely come up with some Jimmy butler in Minnesota type antics.
I would try to move him for a bunch of picks and a young asset or a young star and give one of our picks. I think Hield (with possible a 1st) for Jaylen Brown would be a good move if available. Or Buddy for myles turner and Jeremy lamb would be great. Or even buddy and bagley (possibly needing a pick as well) for Beal and say Hachimura. But right now, Buddy is the best option to be traded and net a good player or picks that make you better faster. Bogie walking gains you nothing.
