Buddy Hield, Indiana Pacers
Buddy Hield has been linked to the Lakers since last offseason and it wouldn’t be surprising if he’s a player they revisited now that he could be available on the trade market as the Indiana Pacers enter a rebuild.
Hield has two years remaining on his contract with Indiana but could be appealing due to his scoring prowess and 3-point ability. He’s coming off a season in which he averaged 18 points per game on 36 percent shooting from deep.
He could be a great third option next to LeBron and AD and would be a much better fit than Russell Westbrook has been with the team.
