Buddy Hield is set to join the Golden State Warriors in a sign-and-trade deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, securing a lucrative two-year, $21 million contract. This move brings one of the league's top 3-point shooters to the Warriors, pairing him with Stephen Curry for an impressive shooting duo. Hield's career 40% 3-point shooting average will add significant firepower to Golden State's offense. The Warriors are acquiring Hield to help fill the void left by Klay Thompson, who is departing for the Dallas Mavericks. Along with signing De'Anthony Melton and Kyle Anderson, the Warriors are aiming to bolster their roster with versatility on both ends of the floor. Despite some playoff shooting struggles, Hield's consistent scoring and minutes played last season make him a valuable addition to the Warriors as they gear up for the upcoming season.
