“Buddy’s going to be gone,” one NBA executive told HoopsHype bluntly. “TheyChris Paul Jerseys already traded him and had a done deal.”
Another executive noted Hie cp3 phoenix suns jerseyld’s descending contract could make it more likely for him to be traded.
After the team seemingly had a deal to send Hield to the Lakers for Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell this summer, it’s not a surprising report.
