Atlanta Hawks Receive: G Buddy Hield
Sacramento Kings Receive: F Cam Reddish, F Danilo Gallinari
This hypothetical deal was cooked up over at Bleacher Report. They recently did an article about refreshing trade ideas for five players that have been mentioned in trade rumors and Buddy Hield was one of those players.
Hield has been mentioned in rumors for a long time now. At this point, it may just be best that the Sacramento Kings trade him, especially with the awkwardness that will be present after he was almost dealt to the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this offseason.
Trade talks were so far along between the Kings and Lakers that Hield thought he was going to Los Angeles. At the last minute, the Lakers made a deal with the Washington Wizards for Russell Westbrook instead, which left Sacramento heated.
The fact still remains, Hield is no longer a long-term fit with the Kings. Davion Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton are the backcourt talents of the future alongside De’Aaron Fox.
