Warriors Sign Buddy Hield in Trade Deal

The Golden State Warriors have acquired sharpshooter Buddy Hield from the Philadelphia 76ers in a sign-and-trade deal, following the departure of Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks. Hield's contract is valued at $21 million over two years, with an additional $3 million partial guarantee in the third year and a player option for a non-guaranteed fourth year. This move aims to fill the void left by Thompson, with Hield expected to enhance the Warriors' perimeter shooting alongside Stephen Curry. The 76ers will receive a 2031 second-round pick from the Mavericks as part of the deal. Hield, known for his three-point shooting, averaged 12.1 points per game last season. The Warriors have also added De'Anthony Melton and Kyle Anderson to their roster as part of their offseason reconstruction.
