Buddy Hield breaks off communication with Sacramento


The Buddy Hield saga continues in Sacramento, after we reported last week the sharpshooter is likely on the move. It's now being reported by Jason Jones of the Athletic, things have turned sour in Sacramento, and more than ever, it's likely Hield is dealt from the Kings.

Buddy could end up finding new buddies on these teams:

Philadelphia 76ers - Make no mistake the 76ers are making changes and adding a knock-down shooter should be their first move. According to multiple sources there's mutual interest in both Hield and the 76ers, so perhaps something goes down at the draft. Al Horford would likely be included in any deal to match the money. 

Charlotte Hornets - The Hornets need as much help from the perimeter as they can find. The team is open to making moves and have been linked to Hield since the trade chatter starting picking up. With Devonte Graham and Terry Rozier to build around, adding Hield to the mix could bode well for sustained success. Given the Hornets huge amount of cap space, this seems like the perfect fit. 

New York Knicks - The Knicks are trying to trade for any and everyone from the sounds of it. The team is talking about Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook and you can now throw Buddy Hield's name in the mix. RJ Barrett would be a nice slashing compliment for Hield. The Knicks need shooting as much as anyone and Hield could handle the bright lights in the Big Apple. This trade could set itself up nicely for both clubs as the Kings could pry Kevin Knox and a couple first-rounders if the Knicks are serious about making a deal. 

Buddy Hield, pick up the phone, your employer is looking for you.
