As he failed to agree on a contract extension with the Pacers, Buddy Hield has been transferable for a few days. We know that Dallas, Philadelphia and Milwaukee quickly expressed their interest in the Bahamian shooter.
Except that Marc Stein, always very well informed when it comes to the Mavericks, teaches us that things are not moving forward between the Texans and the Pacers.
If Dallas is interested in the profile of Buddy Hield, a strong 3-point shooter (40% career success rate), Indiana does not want Tim Hardaway Jr. in exchange. However, in terms of salaries and profiles, it fits since the first will receive 19.3 million dollars in 2023/24 and the second 17.9 million.
But the Pacers are, “for the moment” specifies Marc Stein, not ready to make this type of exchange. Not sure that Dallas will give in and change its offer, because we saw during discussions with the Hawks that Mark Cuban, even if he had been insistent, did not want to let go of Josh Green or Jaden Hardy against Clint Capela.
However, the Pacers would also like, like many teams, to recover a first round of Draft as part of this transfer of Buddy Hield. Perhaps with that in addition, Indiana leaders will agree to get Tim Hardaway Jr. back, who is under contract until 2025.
