Buddy Hield spent six seasons with the Sacramento Kings before getting shipped off to the Indiana Pacers in the middle of last season. Despite his relatively long tenure with the Kings, however, it seems that this man does not have any love for his former city. The Pacers were in action on Wednesday as they […]

The Los Angeles Lakers had long been rumored to be mulling a blockbuster Russell Westbrook trade which would see Pacers’ Buddy Hield and Myles Turner head to L.A. While nothing ever materialized, the trade rumors surrounding Russ, and the likelihood of Indiana as a landing spot, have not ceased. Now, it’s been revealed why the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are only a month into the 2022-23 NBA season, but their playoff hopes are already slipping away. The team is just 5-10 through 15 games, and it seems clear that the current roster simply isn’t good enough to compete in the Western Conference. The only option is a trade. The Lakers […]

Are the Los Angeles Lakers working on a trade for Buddy Hield? Well that could be the case after Rob Pelinka was spotted traveling to Indiana while Hield sent a rather cryptic tweet. Twitter users were quick to connect the dots about the recent string of events, especially with Hield’s tweet seemingly indicating he received […]

Indiana Pacers sharpshooter Buddy Hield has long been a trade target of the Los Angeles Lakers. For some reason, however, the 29-year-old has been an elusive prospect for a Lakers side that is in desperate need of shooting. Hield has been playing some elite-level basketball of late, and he has been rewarded by Nike with […]

While the Los Angeles Lakers have been heavily linked with Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving and Indiana Pacers duo Myles Turner and Buddy Hield in the past, it doesn’t look like they are going to trade for any of them. There have been plenty of calls for Rob Pelinka and co. to make some changes […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have started the 2022-23 NBA season 0-4. The franchise seems to be in shambles, and there doesn’t seem to be many players on the current roster who can fix it. One of (if not) the biggest problems for LA is the team’s 3-point shooting. Through four games, the team is shooting […]

The Indiana Pacers will not carry big expectations as they head into the 2022-23 NBA season. After finishing near the bottom of the Eastern Conference last season, the Pacers have much to prove in the coming campaign. Here we will discuss four bold predictions for the Indiana Pacers in the 2022-23 NBA season. It’s a […]

The Indiana Pacers are in the midst of a rebuild as the 2022-23 NBA preseason begins. The Pacers have a young roster and are likely to be one of the bottom teams in the Eastern Conference.

The Los Angeles Lakers may not be done making moves this offseason. After spending all offseason wondering whether they would trade Russell Westbrook, they are now back in trade talks with the Indiana Pacers. The Lakers would acquire Myles Turner and Buddy Hield while sending Westbrook and two future draft picks to Indiana, according to […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have pursued the services of Myles Turner and Buddy Hield all offseason long. However, the Lakers have been understandably stingy with their 2027 and 2029 unprotected first round draft picks, preventing a deal between the Lakers and the Indiana Pacers from materializing. But rumor has it that the Lakers could acquire […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly engaged the Indiana Pacers on new trade talks centered around Buddy Hield and Myles Turner, but by the looks of it, no deal would be made between the two. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Lakers remain unwilling to part ways with two unprotected first round picks […]

The Indiana Pacers had a perplexing offseason. They unexpectedly gave Deandre Ayton an offer sheet, but that didn’t pan out. It was disappointing since an Ayton and Tyrese Haliburton pick-and-roll combo would have looked pretty exciting. To compound things, they also offloaded Malcolm Brogdon to the Boston Celtics. Despite those things, the Pacers have a […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have been linked with the Indiana Pacers for a potential deal for Buddy Hield and Myles Turner. However, even if the Purple and Gold pull off the trade, an NBA exec doesn’t believe it makes them title contenders. While no deal is imminent and it’s unlikely the Lakers make a move […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have been rumored to trade Russell Westbrook since the beginning of the offseason. However, the front office hasn’t had much luck in finding a trade partner. Many believe the Indiana Pacers are interested in acquiring the star guard, but the franchise isn’t willing to pay a premium price either. Especially considering […]

It looks like the Los Angeles Lakers’ trade talks with the Indiana Pacers for Myles Turner and Buddy Hield are not yet dead. While a recent report stated that the talks are currently dead, Bob Kravitz of The Athletic reported that negotiations are merely idle right now. Considering that, there is still a possibility the […]

It’s no secret the Los Angeles Lakers still need an influx of shooting. As long as Kyrie Irving remains available via trade, though, the purple-and-gold are apparently highly unlikely to go out and get it. ESPN’s Dave McMenamin reported on Friday that though Los Angeles has “interest” in acquiring sharpshooters Buddy Hield of the Indiana […]

The Russell Westbrook rumors have run rampant this offseason. The Los Angeles Lakers are rumored to be looking to trade him… but dealing away his massive contract following a down season is challenging. There were stirrings of a potential deal in the works with the Indiana Pacers. But according to The Athletic’s Bob Kravitz, the […]

Despite reports that the Los Angeles Lakers trio of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook all recently spoke on the phone to reaffirm their commitment to each other for the upcoming season, it is clear that LA is still trying to find a way to trade Westbrook away from the team. There hasn’t been […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have already managed to make a few signings in free agency, bringing in Thomas Bryant, Juan Toscano-Anderson, and Lonnie Walker IV, among others. But, it’s not stopping there. The organization still needs to find more three-point shooting and GM Rob Pelinka is reportedly eyeing a couple of his ex-clients from when […]

The Indiana Pacers are continuing to rebuild with their eyes on the future during 2022 NBA free agency. They have made plenty of smart moves but still have a few more to make. After trading Malcolm Brogdon to the Boston Celtics and re-signing Jalen Smith, Indiana is starting its slow rebuild around young players like […]

The Los Angeles Lakers were linked to a number of trade targets last summer before pulling the trigger on a Russell Westbrook blockbuster. One name that was heavily on their radar is Indiana Pacers sharpshooter Buddy Hield, who still played for the Sacramento Kings at the time. Now, it appears the Lakers are showing interest […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves had a disappointing exit in the 2022 NBA Playoffs, losing to the Memphis Grizzlies, 4-2 in the first round. While making the postseason alone is already a win for the young team, the Timberwolves blew multiple double-digit leads throughout the series that ultimately cost them. Nonetheless, their postseason run is certainly going […]

Russell Westbrook is headed to the Pacers? It might just happen. When considering the possibility of a Russell Westbrook trade to any team, there needs to be more taken into account than the players involved due to Westbrook’s loaded contract. His massive salary automatically narrows the amount of potentially interested teams in the veteran point […]

With the Los Angeles Lakers’ chances of reaching the NBA playoffs growing slimmer by the loss, fans are left wondering what could have been, if not for a whole lot of “what-ifs?” Magic Johnson is among those envisioning an alternate reality in which the Lakers had a different offseason approach, and he had a fiery […]

One could easily forget that the Indiana Pacers were the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference just two seasons ago. Their team was a formidable bunch despite being swept in the first round of the playoffs, but it has since been a free-fall for their franchise who have struggled the past two seasons. Domantas Sabonis […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a horrendous season and will need to make moves in the 2022 offseason. Despite having a roster with three stars and some solid role players, Los Angeles sits in ninth place in the Western Conference. LeBron James has been the only consistent presence for the Lakers, but even he […]

The Indiana Pacers (20-40) hit the reset button ahead of the NBA’s trade deadline.

The Indiana Pacers are in the midst of a massive retooling of their roster after making some big trades ahead of the deadline. Caris LeVert was traded away to the Cleveland Cavaliers, while Domantas Sabonis was dealt to the Sacramento Kings. Now, the Pacers have a presumed core of Myles Turner-Tyrese Haliburton-Chris Duarte, with many […]

The Los Angeles Lakers were one of the seemingly few teams that were quiet at the NBA trade deadline. That’s despite the current state of the team, not physically, but emotionally. With all of the talk of Russell Westbrook not fitting this constructed roster, amid the Lakers struggles, many believe Westbrook would be dealt. He […]

Buddy Hield, according to recent rumors, has no desire to stay in Indiana and would love to be dealt with before the deadline on Thursday, especially to a contending team. Contending teams will be very interested in Buddy Hield, because if a team can obtain a player who can shoot a three-point shot at a […]

The Indiana Pacers acquired Buddy Hield as part of a blockbuster trade with the Sacramento Kings involving Tyrese Haliburton and Domantas Sabonis.

The Charlotte Hornets are wedged into the thick of the playoff hunt. Sitting at the ninth spot in the Eastern Conference right now, they control their own fate. They are a few games out of that all important six seed and are slotted into the play-in tournament. Unfortunately, Gordon Hayward will be out indefinitely and […]

The Indiana Pacers continued to clean house on Tuesday as they traded Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday, and Jeremy Lamb to the Sacramento Kings. In return, they got Tristan Thompson, Buddy Hield, and Tyrese Haliburton. While the latter will absolutely be a part of their long-term plans, Hield could already be on the move again. Via […]

With all of the talent on their roster this season, the Sacramento Kings are not having the kind of success they were looking for.

Another year, another poor season for the Sacramento Kings. Their last decade and a half in the NBA can be described by a myriad of poor personnel decisions, overmatched coaches, terrible front offices, and mind-boggling trades. However, the Kings are making some steps in the right direction. It is important for the franchise to continue […]

Buddy Hield was on his way to the City of Angels in the offseason for Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell before the Los Angeles Lakers decided to acquire Russell Westbrook instead.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings have had bad blood since the playoffs of the early 2000s. Although the Lakers have been the big brother of this rivalry, they recently looked to their little brother for some help. Los Angeles was inches away from trading for Kings sharpshooter Buddy Hield this past offseason. The […]
