UPDATE: Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported that the deal will be part of a larger trade.
Via Slater: “The Buddy Hield deal will be roped into a five-team trade, per sources, stemming from the Klay Thompson move to Dallas, which now makes Kyle Anderson and Hield the combined return to GSW for Klay.”
