I think people see Moody as more of a wing than a guard, but he’s kind of a tweener. Definitely a versatile player. I understand people liking a lotto pick for an aging player, but it does not seem like a “win now” move, so I understand that angle too.
It’s a lopsided deal in our favor in the long run, but one that doesn’t make a ton of sense for us if we’re in “win now” mode.
If Moody is involved, I think you have to do it, but I wouldn’t really like it if the idea is to compete for a title the next three years.
If the idea is to kinda maybe contend but a build another youngish core that can step in around Don if we pivot next offseason, I get it. Moody, Butler, and Paschall could all be usable pieces of a new core in 3 years.
