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

Buddy Hield shared his thoughts on getting the first win with the Bahamas in the #FIBAOQT
He also explained what drives him to represent the country despite being a free agent and not having an NBA contract 🇧🇸

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
