Report: Warriors, 76ers in Hield sign-and-trade talks

The Golden State Warriors are working with the Philadelphia 76ers to finalize a sign-and-trade for veteran wing Buddy Hield, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The Warriors are looking to replace some perimeter shooting after four-time NBA champion Klay Thompson left the organization after 13 seasons Monday. Thompson reportedly inked a three-year, $50-million deal with the Dallas Mavericks as part of a three-team sign-and-trade agreement.

Hield is widely viewed as one of the NBA's top threats from behind the arc and shot 38.6% from deep in 84 regular-season outings with the Indiana Pacers and 76ers in 2023-24. The Oklahoma product was traded to Philadelphia in February in a three-team deal that also included the San Antonio Spurs.

The 31-year-old has shot 40% from three across eight seasons with the New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings, Pacers and 76ers.

Hield was one of over a half-dozen Sixers who entered the offseason facing free agency. The organization was active on Monday, reportedly signing Paul George to a four-year, $212-million deal. Philadelphia also reportedly re-signed All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey to a five-year, $204-million max extension and guard Kelly Oubre Jr. to a two-year, $18.5-million pact.

The Warriors, meanwhile, reportedly added forward Kyle Anderson on a three-year, $27-million contract via a sign-and-trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier Tuesday. They also reached a one-year, $12.8-million agreement with former 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton Monday.

Hield scored 24 points Tuesday as the Bahamas topped Finland 96-85 in the first game of the Olympic men's basketball qualifying tournament in Valencia, Spain.
