After a week of rather public negotiating, the Sacramento Kings and Buddy Hield struck a deal on Monday to keep Buddy in purple for another four years. It was a huge relief to most Kings fans, who had no interest in a potential dark cloud hanging over the team’s playoff hunt. There were concerns that it could cause unrest in the locker room, resentment among teammates, or possibly even result in a trade demand. For those reasons alone, it was wonderful news that the Kings and Buddy could agree to terms. But then the terms themselves came out, and the deal is an absolute win-win.
