The Los Angeles Clippers were hoping to emerge as a serious title contender in the 2022-23 season, but so far, that simply has not happened. While they are sitting in sixth place in the Western Conference, their 25-24 record is certainly not what fans were expecting from them entering the season, and it has resulted […]

The Indiana Pacers have arrived earlier than expected. Acquiring Tyrese Haliburton in exchange for Domantas Sabonis was quite the masterstroke that expedited their contending timeline. However, Haliburton’s knee and elbow injuries threaten to derail Indiana’s surprising 2022-23 campaign, which complicates their trade deadline plans even further. It’s no secret that the Pacers have tried to […]

The 2023 NBA trade deadline is approaching, and the New York Knicks must make some moves in order to jump up into a firm playoff spot. The good Knicks trade deadline news is that the team has a lot of picks and a lot of different-sized contracts that make all kinds of Knicks trades possible. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-23 season has not gone according to plan at all. The hope was that if they were able to shore up their bench over the offseason, they would be able to emerge as a title contender again this season. Unfortunately, that simply has not happened for them so far, and they […]

Buddy Hield has garnered interest from teams around the league and could be on the move. The 30-year-old sharpshooter would provide elite three-point shooting for a contending team. Hield is having a great season with the Pacers, averaging 17.7 points, shooting 45.4 percent from the field, and a very efficient 41.9 percent from three. While […]

Indiana Pacers sharpshooter Buddy Hield did not waste much time before getting his first bucket of Thursday night’s home game against the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers. He buried his first points of the game so fast that he broke a record previously held by Pacers legend Reggie Miller, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Hield’s 3-pointer […]

Buddy Hield has been one of the premier three-point shooters in the NBA since he was drafted and it appears that teammate Tyrese Haliburton’s dad knows that. Prior to the Indiana Pacers game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Haliburton’s dad John implored Hield to just let it fly every time he catches the ball. "I don't […]

The Indiana Pacers are performing far better than virtually everyone anticipated. In fact, they currently have a win-loss record of 18-17. With that slate, the Pacers are tied for sixth in the Eastern Conference with the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat. As of this writing, the Pacers have also won three of their […]

Most Miami Heat fans are familiar with Eric Reid. The renowned announcer has made quite a name for himself with his trademark “kaboom” expression gaining a bit of a cult following among Miami supporters everywhere. As it turns out, even Indiana Pacers stud Buddy Hield is familiar with Reid’s reputation. Reid recently took to Twitter […]

The Holiday season is in full swing right now. In NBA terms, this means a handful of must-see Christmas games waiting on the horizon. It also means that trade season is approaching as well. One player to watch in this respect is Indiana Pacers shooting guard Buddy Hield. Several teams from across the league have […]

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.

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.
