“The Golden State Warriors have agreed to a deal acquiring Buddy Hield via sign-and-trade from the 76ers, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium,” Charania tweeted on July 4. “New teammates Hield and Stephen Curry are leaders for most 3-pointers made over the last 5 NBA seasons – and now will be teammates.”

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski followed up with details on Hield’s new contract.

“ESPN Sources: Free agent Buddy Hield is joining Golden State on a sign-and-trade deal guaranteed for two years and $21 million,” Wojnarowski tweeted. “Hield gets $18M in first two years, a $3M partial guarantee in 3rd year and player option on non-guaranteed 4th year. Warriors send Sixers 2031 second via Dallas.”

Hield is coming off of his eighth NBA campaign. He started the 2023-2024 year off with the Indiana Pacers before being dealt to the 76ers at the trade deadline.

Hield averaged 12.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game between 84 regular-season appearances last season. He is a career 40% three-point shooter.
