Sixers get Buddy Hield in trade with Pacers

A big trade that went down at the 2024 NBA trade deadline! Here's some information to catch you up:

The Trade:

• Philadelphia 76ers: Acquired Buddy Hield (guard) from the Indiana Pacers.
• Indiana Pacers: Received Marcus Morris Sr. (forward), Furkan Korkmaz (guard), and three second-round draft picks (2029, 2031, 2033) from the 76ers.

Impact on the teams:

• 76ers: Added a much-needed sharpshooter in Hield to their roster. Hield is a career 39.8% three-point shooter and could provide spacing alongside Joel Embiid and James Harden. They gave up some depth in Morris and Korkmaz, but may be betting on Hield's shooting to boost their offense.
• Pacers: Received a solid veteran in Morris and a young player with potential in Korkmaz, along with draft picks for future rebuilding. They signaled their intention to move towards a rebuild by trading away Hield, a veteran on an expiring contract.

Current Date:

It's important to note that today is February 8, 2024, and the trade deadline was in February 2023. So, this trade has already happened and the teams have been adjusting to their new rosters since then.

In general, the Sixers have lost seven of their last eight games and will be without Embiid for basically the following a month as he recuperates from a medical procedure. Adding Hield won't fix any of the frontcourt issues Philadelphia faces while the middle is out, yet it will give the group an extra edge scorer and 3-point danger for the stretch run and end of the season games. Hield positions fifteenth in the NBA in 3-pointers made (137) in spite of seeing his minutes and job decline this season with the Pacers. Hield's resume: One of the most amazing 3-point shooters all through his profession, Hield is averaging 12 focuses, 3.2 bounce back and 2.7 helps per game for the Pacers. Last season, he played in 80 of 82 games, averaging 16.8 focuses, 5 bounce back, 2.8 helps, and 1.2 takes. He made an establishment record 288 3-pointers and shot 42.5% from 3-point range and positioned second in the NBA in 3-pointers made and ninth in 3-point rate.
