Career 38% from beyond the arc.  But go ahead and use some stupidly small sample size to justify your argument.

Matt Delvadova playoff stats with LeBron: 5.5 ppg, 1.4 rpg, 2.6 apg on 35%/30%/78% splits

Alex Caruso playoff stats with LeBron: 6.4 ppg, 1.4 rpg, 2.1 apg on 41%/28%/81% splits

Most of which have already been decided on where they're going.  Toronto is going on the outside looking in with PGs unless they're going after Schroder.

If they sign Lonzo Ball to a big offer sheet is New Orleans likely going to match it? Probably not.

Who knows.  But there's also the issue that your cap space is tied up for 24 hours.  Sometimes it's easier to throw a few dummy SRPs at them.  And does Lonzo (and Lavar) want to go to Toronto?  If he has his choice between Chicago and Toronto, it's probably a pretty easy decision.

Buddy to the Lakers isn't happening. No team is going to offer assets that the Kings want who always wants Schroder to make it possible. 

Again, I'd put it less than 5% chance of happening.  But they don't necessarily need assets to get Hield.  If they can find a team who can take on Schroder and not send any significant long-term salary back, salary relief could be what the Kings would want for Hield.

Why would they prefer Chicago over Toronto? Chicago hasn't done much since Jordan retired. The Raptors already have a ton of pieces in place, just won a championship, need a PG, and have one of the best player development programs in the league.

Salary relief for what? They're not even over the cap with Buddy's deal and nowhere near the tax line. Luke Walton coached Kuzma in LA and if they wanna move Bagley they have his replacement already.

$20M/year for the next 3 years is a pretty hefty price tag for a shooter.  It creates more flexibility.  Kuzma was the most valuable piece in that reported deal.

The Raptors were a playoff team for 7 consecutive seasons before they were forced to play in Tampa this year. Nurse has already proven to be one of the best coaches in the league and they have guys like Siakam, OG, FVV locked up long-term. If he gets traded to Chicago and they're not good, LaVine is likely leaving next summer. The Bulls over that same span have won 1 playoff series as well, lol. 

Chicago is the 3rd largest television market in North America, Toronto is the 4th biggest. 

And as we saw with Kawhi Leonard in Toronto and Giannis in Milwaukee, winning in a smaller market > losing in a bigger one.

The Lakers aren't the only team that wants Buddy though...
