Warriors receive:

  • Buddy Hield

Sixers receive: 

  • 2031 second-round pick

 

Hield, a 31-year-old sharpshooting wing, has hit 200-plus 3-pointers in six straight seasons with a career 3-point shooting percentage of 40% on 7.6 attempts per game. He’s played with the Pelicans, Kings, Pacers and Sixers since being selected with the 6th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. Hield started last season with Indiana and was traded to Philadelphia at the trade deadline.

He joins a Warriors backcourt looking to replace the production of Klay Thompson, who agreed to a deal with the Dallas Mavericks this week after playing his entire career with Golden State. This sign-and-trade deal reportedly will be worked into the 3-team sign-and-trade deal for Thompson.

Hield and new teammate Stephen Curry lead the NBA in 3-pointers made over the last five seasons.
