Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr and assistant Chris Demarco played instrumental roles in recruiting Buddy Hield to join the team, snubbing interest from the Los Angeles Lakers. Demarco, who also coaches the Bahamian national team with Hield, had been persuading the sharpshooting guard to make the move while in Spain for Olympic qualifying. A late-night phone call from Kerr, following agreements with other players, sealed the deal for Hield to sign with the Warriors. Demarco's efforts, coupled with Kerr's final push, highlight their dedication to strengthening the team after losing Klay Thompson. With Hield's potential impact, Demarco's influence in the Warriors' success behind the scenes is now on full display. The addition of Hield could play a significant role in propelling Golden State back to NBA prominence.
