The Hypothetical Trade
Miami Receives: Buddy Hield, Delon Wright
Sacramento Receives: Goran Dragic, Andre Iguodala, Precious Achiuwa, 2025 1st Round Pick
This could be a great deal between both of these competitive rosters because it would allow the two sides to benefit from immediate talent as well as look forward to the future. Miami would benefit from getting a franchise shooting guard to stabilize their starting five while the Kings would benefit from a pair of quality players to enhance their rotation and a future first-round pick.
Sacramento would get a very solid return investment from dealing away Buddy Hield in Goran Dragic, Andre Iguodala, and Precious Achiuwa, which could certainly help the team compete for a playoff spot in the near future. Hield is under contract through the 2023-24 season, so they will need to get some great value in order to agree to a deal.
This trade gives both sides exactly what they’re looking for in terms of talent, and it’s a very fair deal between two competitive rosters. Let’s take a look at how this trade directly impacts each team directly.
