Buddy Hield Chooses Golden State Warriors Over Los Angeles Lakers and Detroit Pistons Following Conversation with Coach Steve Kerr

Buddy Hield has made the decision to join the Golden State Warriors after considering offers from the Los Angeles Lakers and Detroit Pistons. The three-point specialist was swayed by a phone call from head coach Steve Kerr and the opportunity to win with the Warriors. Currently playing in Spain for the Bahamian national team, Hield had assistance from Warriors assistant Chris DeMarco in the decision-making process. With the Warriors losing veteran sharpshooter Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks, Hield's addition will help fill a major void for the team next season. Despite interest from other suitors, Hield believes in the Warriors' potential to make a championship push next season under the guidance of coach Kerr. Only time will tell if this move will lead to success for both Hield and the Warriors in the coming season.
