As the resumption of training camps approaches, teams are making more phone calls to arrange transfers, and avoid preparing for the season with thorns in their side.
This is particularly the case in Portland, which seems to be accelerating a lot on the Damian Lillard case, and it is also undoubtedly the case in Indianapolis, where the Pacers will now try to transfer Buddy Hield. The two camps thus failed to agree on a contract extension, and the Bahamian has his exit ticket.
It remains to be seen where the 30-year-old shooter could land. We know that he flirted with the Lakers for a long time, but the latter have closed their squad and it is difficult to see them getting active on the file.
Shams Charania then evokes the names of the Mavericks, the Sixers and the Bucks, interested in the profile of Buddy Hield for some time, and who could therefore return to the charge for the one who has registered 1,705 3-point shots (40% success) since his arrived in the NBA in 2016. Over the period, only Stephen Curry (2,199), James Harden (1,870) and Damian Lillard (1,788) scored more outside shots than him in the Big League…
