There were rumors that the Warriors refused to move Buddy Hield before the trade deadline because they valued him so much. If that is true, Buddy could finish the 2024-25 strong. He’s the starting shooting guard playing next to Jimmy Butler on one side and Steph Curry on the other. The Warriors don’t have a lot of depth coming off the bench, so it’s easy to imagine Buddy finding plenty of opportunity to shoot some shots. I can also imagine Butler’s driving creating some open looks from outside for Buddy. 2/11/2025
