2 months agoIndiana Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan says the organization is in no hurry to trade away guard/forward Buddy Hield, stating their "intention is to have Buddy on the team this year." It coincides with a previous report from The Athletic, saying that no trade is close at this time despite Hield being open to one after contract-extension talks with Indiana halted recently. The 30-year-old appears prepared to participate in Pacers training camp next Tuesday, even if an extension to his expiring deal isn't reached by then. The sharpshooting Hield could theoretically handle less usage if he ends up being swapped to a contender, but he remains a safe pick in the middle rounds of upcoming fantasy drafts on outstanding three-point shooting alone.--Joseph Barbati - RotoBaller
