Is Buddy Hield going to end the season with the Sacramento Kings? Almost certainly not, says an executive who recently spoke to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype about Hield’s future:
“Buddy’s going to be gone,” one NBA executive told HoopsHype bluntly. “They already traded him and had a done deal.”
Another executive noted Hield’s descending contract could make it more likely for him to be traded.
After the team seemingly had a deal to send Hield to the Lakers for Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell this summer, it’s not a surprising report.
