Buddy Hield sign-and-trade: Warriors add prolific 3-point shooter after losing Klay Thompson, per report

Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Sixers are getting a 2031 second for facilitating the sign and trade for Buddy Hield.
As a reminder, Sixers basically didn’t have the option to sign Hield for the deal he’s going to get in Golden State as a result of their cap maneuvering – 2:31 PM

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
The Sixers have agreed to a deal to send Buddy Hield to the Golden State Warriors via a sign-and-trade, sources confirm. The Sixers will receive the 2031 Dallas Mavericks second-round pick in the deal. – 2:29 PM

Evan Sidery @esidery
With the new CBA, sign-and-trades will become much more prevalent during free agency instead of outright signings.
Klay Thompson was the headliner, but also smaller deals involving Buddy Hield and Kris Dunn.
DeMar DeRozan could soon be on the move via sign-and-trade as well. pic.twitter.com/emBA5Tdxn8 – 2:25 PM

The Golden State Warriors have agreed to a deal acquiring Buddy Hield via sign-and-trade from the 76ers, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. New teammates Hield and Stephen Curry are leaders for most 3-pointers made over the last 5 NBA seasons – and now will be teammates. pic.twitter.com/a12kp9sYuV – 2:15 PM

Buddy Hield playing for the Bahamas without a contract:
“I love basketball. I love playing. Getting to the Olympics is the ultimate goal. When I get older, I can tell my kids I played in the Olympics. My grandkids will know I played in the Olympics, and it’s special.” – 4:36 AM

James Ham @James_HamNBA
Buddy Hield should be a good fit in the Warriors system. He can still shoot the ball with the best of them. He’s posted six straight 200+ 3-point make seasons. Not sure what kind of money he’s going to get, but he can space the floor and provide a scoring pop. – 1:09 AM

Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
Klay Thompson made 268 3-pointers last season
Buddy Hield made 218, and De’Anthony Melton made 157 the year before – 1:05 AM

Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
De’Anthony Melton and Kyle Anderson were brought in to play. So would Buddy Hield. Another logjam is being created for some of the Warriors’ younger guys, making it sure feel like more moves — and a bigger one — is on the way – 12:42 AM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
Could the Sixers get something in return for Buddy Hield from the Golden State Warriors — now looking to replace at least some of Klay Thompson’s shooting?

The Warriors are close to acquiring Buddy Hield from the Sixers via sign-and-trade, per @ShamsCharania.

Yossi Gozlan @YossiGozlan
The Golden State Warriors would have a very crowded backcourt if they added Buddy Hield to the mix. They’d also exceed the $170.8 million luxury tax if they bring him in without sending any players out.
I imagine they’d have some other moves lined up to address these things. – 12:20 AM

Golden State Warriors are expressing interest in Buddy Hield, sources told @hoopshype. Hield is a career 40% 3-point shooter and played a league-leading 84 games last season. With Klay Thompson gone, Golden State will look to replace his shooting potentially via sign-and-trade. pic.twitter.com/EkSKFTIK3u – 12:09 AM

Bahamas is my favorite story right now in Olympic qualifying. Buddy Hield, Deandre Ayton, Eric Gordon, all NBA players. And the starting point guard is from Bowling Green. As in Bowling Green’s coaching staff. This is amazing. apnews.com/article/paris-… – 2:39 PM

A Bahamas team with Deandre Ayton, Eric Gordon, Buddy Hield and V.J. Edgecombe came back from a double-figure deficit to beat Finland in their first Olympic qualifier today. Three wins away from Paris.

While the waiting game continues with Kennard, Buddy Hield, Gary Trent Jr. and Malik Beasley all still out there. The market for single-position two-guard shooting specialists doesn’t seem to be robust. This might suggest a Kennard deal lower than earlier expectation. – 10:32 AM
