If you’re fine giving up 140 points every game and never being able to blow a team out then sure. Jarace will need to be DPOY level for that to work long term.
They do have a really good chemistry and Buddys game is geared towards longevity so his age isn’t the biggest concern for me. Obviously Mathurin is the long term plan but having Buddy as 6th man is the kind of “overpay” we should definitely consider for a couple more seasons.
