Hield’s new contract will be a four-year deal with a starting salary of $8.7 million and a fourth-year player option. The Warriors will send a 2031 second-round pick from Dallas, received in the Klay Thompson departure, back to Philadelphia in return, rerouting it as part of the five-team deal that also includes the Charlotte Hornets and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Hield is currently in Valencia, Spain, starring for the Bahamian national team, which is two wins away from a shocking Olympics bid and is coached by Warriors assistant Chris DeMarco, a helpful ally in the recruitment of Hield. It had been trending this direction for a couple days, but Hield didn’t make a final decision until after a late Wednesday night call with Steve Kerr and then a night to sleep on it.
Hield chose the Warriors because of the opportunity to win over other interested suitors, including the Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers.

People here hate DLo but want can’t dribble or pass DLo.
We losing Gary Trent Jr also atp I feel like he would sign with us if we had spots open.
Oh nooo I am devastated
Lakers are linked to every single player
Buddy is literally trash. Don’t know why anyone cares
So this basically confirms Rob will be shedding roster spots soon.
No way he would inquire about Buddy and not having a spot for him asap as I doubt Buddy would want to wait weeks just for a spot to be opened prior to signing.
I would seriously question Buddy’s IQ if he thinks the Warriors present a better opportunity to win than us.
Like they win shit this year. Reporter just threw our name in the mix for the clicks.
NBA fan logic: more roster moves = better team
The warriors were mid last season and they haven’t moved the needle at all
Lol, the entire media following the Woj model of reporting now.
Buddy sucks ass, I’m happy got GSW got him to take mins away from more impactful players
Win? What they gone win? 😂
Fuck Buddy lol. The Warriors ain’t winning shit. He thinks he can be the new splash step brother.
Like at some point it’s just funny. The Lakers were definitely a better team than the Warriors last year and I don’t think swapping Klay for Buddy or Anderson changes that.
Buddy would be like how Malik Beasley was with us. And he plays no defense and can’t dribble.
Ah yes, join the team that didn’t make the playoffs and just got worse, that’s gonna give u a better opportunity to win.
Pretty sure these guys just attach lakers name in every trade to get engagement 😂
Wait is the thread confused. Rob & Lakers wanted buddy this free agency but buddy turned down US down. The cope is crazy. We got turned down not buddy lol
Warriors still buns. They not doing shit for the next decade. They’d be lucky to make the playoffs this upcoming season.
They been making Buddy as some 3 point sniper but every game I’ve watched with him playing, he always misses those shots.
Good, he’s mid.
My new and only hope for next season is we finish higher than the Warriors lmao
Cap. I don’t think Rob was seriously trying to trade for Buddy fucking Hield. We are full at the 3 spot where he plays. Also choosing the Warriors for an opportunity to win? Bro stop lmao
Remember when this team almost moved 2 firsts for this guy
What happened to the franchisee I love 😂
Lakers didn’t need Hield…this dude done been some of everywhere…He’s like DLo a some time shooter…Lakers need a Real Shooter…
That’s actually really funny.
This how the league views us lol.
The opportunity to win.. a team we’ve beat out the past two years
