Buddy Hield sign-and-trade to the Warriors is officially official, though it’s a five-team deal and the Sixers receive Dallas’ 2031 second-round pick (assuming this is the elaborate way the Mavs are also getting Klay Thompson) pic.twitter.com/1k1Cq9lpj9 – 10:05 PM

Not yet announced but looming now that the league’s moratorium on signings and trades has been lifted: Hearing that as many as six teams will be included in the complex sign-and-trade that will ultimately land Klay Thompson in Dallas.
