BREAKING: The Sixers STEAL Buddy Hield from Pacers – Massive Trade for Philly | Sixers News

With the countdown to the NBA trade dayline beginning to inch towards its end and frustration in building of the lack of activity from the Philadelphia 76ers they have finally sprung into action buddy heeld is finally coming home and began with this Shams report right here saying that the Indiana is

Nearing a deal to trade buddy heel to the 76ers within minutes before I could even send out my initial reaction tweet we get the full details and we were not around waiting and these Sixers have officially traded Marcus Morris feron corkas and three second round picks in

Exchange for the Indiana snip now I’ll start by saying that Buddy heeld is a forever almost sixer that this is a guy who year in and year out we’ve talked about as a trade Target a potential piece that could add to this team that

Is not a massive price to pay for a guy that will absolutely change the look of this Sixers offense to dive into specifically what buddy Hill can do he is having a bit of a Down year this year hence probably his availability in Indiana that averaging 12 points on the

Season 3.2 rebounds 2.7 assists playing Just 25.7 minutes per game which is a significant Notch below what he has been used to to he has not played that few minutes since the 27 2018 season and even last year playing 31 minutes per game serving as a primary starter on

This team been out of the lineup but the biggest thing to know about Buddy heeld is he is an absolute sniper take a look at these three-point numbers here through his career is a 4.1 3o per shooter on 7.7 3point attempts that’s a ridiculous combination of volume and

Efficiency this year on the season this year shooting 38.4% which is below what he’s what his average is for his career but still a really good number on 6.9 attempts per game and just look back through last season 42.5% from Beyond the three-point arc on 8.5 3-point attempts that type of

Combination of volume efficiency and just overall Ability Beyond that in his game will change the look of the Sixers offense I think Buddy heel is a better overall basketball player than he gets credit he’s not just a shooter he is a guy that’s capable of putting on the

Ball on the floor at times making the correct pass in a connective setting he’s not a great defender I’m not going to go above and beyond and say that but what he brings on the offensive end is absolutely worth it and when you think about the Sixers team one of my biggest

Frustrations that I’ve brought up right here on this channel is the lack of three-point volume that if you want to look at them across the league the Sixers ranking 26th in the NBA in three-point attempts per game now I understand when Joel embiid is a significant part of this roster who so

Much of his shot diet is dependent on the mid-range and post options they’re never going to be leading the pack for those type of numbers but that makes it even more important to have the type of balance in the in the pieces around embiid and Buddy heeld specifically

Brings something that I was so looking forward to or is such a priority on what they had to do with the deadline as he checks both boxes for the Sixers number one he’s going to play a massive role in helping this team tread water and stay afloat while Joel embiid recovers from

His injury that we know this team is going through his struggles that they’ve lost seven of their last eight even dating Back to Before the uh before the Joel embi injury with the first loss in the streak coming by hands of Buddy heeld and the Indiana Pacers there and

Beyond that but he will also play an X Factor come playoff time that this is a guy that will be a legitimate part of the playoff rotation a guy that I fully expect to be within the six year starting lineup I think it’s likely that they send DeAnthony Melton to the bench

And that buddy heeld is playing next to Tyrese Maxi you can have some of your concerns about the defensive the defense of that pairing but the bottom line is this team lacked offensive Firepower they did not have enough ways to score the basketball and Buddy heeld is

Absolutely the solution to that to dive into a little bit of what these Sixers gave up I did want to talk a bit about this number one Marcus Morris kind of expected there that I I’ve been pretty open in my expectations that I thought Morris was the most likely sixer to get

Traded that $17.1 million cap hit as I mentioned before sometimes it’s more about the money that’s attached to you or the number that’s attached to your name than anything about you as a person or a player for the reason you get traded that with the NBA with the CBA

There’s so many intricacies to making sure you match the financials and make it a fair deal for both sides Marcus mortiis was the third highest paid player on the six this year he’s by far not the third most important sixer and while I enjoyed the Marcus Morris experience in Philadelphia far more than

I expected to it shouldn’t be heartbreaking to see him leave that this is a guy that play paid his dudes got his key to the city and I’m happy that he got to spend a little bit of time playing in front of the hometown fans I will remember him finally for his time

Here but it only made sense that this is going to H happen from a cap perspective now looking beyond that Furon corkas shout out to Fon corkas man this dude has survived three trade requests here in Philadelphia he’s the third longest or second longest 10 sixer behind only

Joel embiid that even been here Beyond Tobias Harris it is crazy how long that fcon corkas has been in a Philadelphia 76ers uniform and I will be happy for him to get his opportunity somewhere else that there were times where Fon was a legitimate piece of the Sixers

Rotation that he has played legitimate postseason minutes I will not let it go unnoticed that during the Al Horford era of Sixers basketball that there was a legitimate period of time where Al Horford was benched for feron corkas and the team got better in a playoff setting

That did happen so shout out Fon that I will remember him finally I do love the confidence that he plays with him after not getting the game for 35 minutes and coming in garbage time he’s still ready to pull up from the logos or throw behind the back passes to make the game

Entertaining so hopefully FK gets a little bit of burn out there in Indiana and has the opportunity to shine will always remember him fondly and now beyond that the three second round picks I think is especially key that the key to me here is they did not touch any of

Their available first round picks for trade that it seems like to Daryl my it’s been such a priority to to maintain that flexibility keep that options open and those three first round picks which they got in return for that James Harden trade those are still the key to Future

Flexibility that I hope what that means is I’m hopping right back up here and recording another reaction video that these Sixers are not done shopping cuz while I like buddy heeld while I think this is a huge step in the right direction for these Sixers it’s not the

Finishing piece just yet that there is still work to do I still would love to see another backup center I know Kelly lenck was just shipped out to the Toronto Raptor I believe it was I just saw that while I was doing my prep here so he is not available for trade anymore

Maybe Andre Drummond there’s some type of reunion there but having the first round picks still having a little bit of tradable contracts with Robert Covington guys like that even Daniel house a guy like that you can attach some money to there means there is more work to be

Done but for now we should be happy that buddy heeld is a part of this Sixers team that would you think about the biggest success that the Sixers have had there’s always been an absolute dead eye shooter as a part of the roster that these guys flourish when playing next to

Joel embiid think about the JJ Rex the Seth Curry George Nang Marco bellelli these guys have a field day playing off Joel em beed’s gravity buddy heeld is an even better shooter than I would argue all of them maybe JJ reick you can make an argument for being in the same

Caliber of shooter of that type of ability but specifically to this team I think Buddy’s going to be more important that I think he’s going to be a guy that you can count on to be an Innings eater quote unquote through the regular season be a regular part of the scoring ability

And deliver for this Sixers team that that they need to stay afloat stay above at least that playing margin so they have a Fighting Chance when Joel embiid returns to this roster having buddy healed absolutely helps with that case and gives me more optimism that there’s a different look to this offense a

Different style of play that they can endure to make sure that they have success that can translate to the win column so we should be happy right now we should be thrilled that buddy heeld is a part of this Sixers team I cannot wait to see him in a Sixers uniform

Curious to see how quick the turnaround time is I know he’s a guy that has been pretty well-liked in Philadelphia circles dating back to even his draft day that loved him at uh shooting the at Oklahoma shooting the lights out got a very cool upbringing story of him kind

Of making his own basketball hoop never uh never going away and just shooting the lights out every day and continuing continuing to get better so I think it’s a good story I think it’s a good player and I do think it is a missing piece a

Box that these Sixers needed to check so welcome to Philadelphia buddy healed I hope once again that there will be another trade that I have to jump on here and react to but for the moment I will give my hat tip to Daryl muray I do

Think the that the moves are far far from done and my last point that I will note here is this also in this trade means that there was traded two players out for one player in what that does do is open up a roster spot which increases

The likelihood of a Kyle Lowry Edition or maybe a Danny Green Edition Gordon Hayward Edition on the buyout Market if any of these guys officially do become available so I think that was a key part of Daryl Mor’s plan as well that we’ve talked a lot about the Kyle Lowry

Opportunity this does open that door potentially and while I’m not the biggest Kyle Lowry guy I think that’s the guy that’s likely at the front of the line in Daryl Mor’s mind I’ll take him on a buyout it’s okay it’s not something that’s going to hurt this team

I’m very happy that’s not the move they’re relying on that buddy heeld moves the meter for this Sixers team far more than any sort of buyout Edition so shout out to Buddy heeld shout out to Daryl Mory and shout out to the Sixers for getting the job done thank you guys
