Hield is currently in Valencia, Spain, starring for the Bahamian national team, which is two wins away from a shocking Olympics bid and is coached by Warriors assistant Chris DeMarco, a helpful ally in the recruitment of Hield. It had been trending this direction for a couple days, but Hield didn’t make a final decision until after a late Wednesday night call with Steve Kerr and then a night to sleep on it.

  1. Demarco and Kerr must have alerted him to an incoming trade that will for sure propel us to “winning” status, right? 😉

  2. Why the hell is Kerr needing to do that? It’s bad when the NBA can’t figure out what direction they’re going in.

  3. it’s even funnier because the lakers have been trying to get buddy for years now

  4. Damn Klay said fuck the Lakers. Stotts said fuck the Lakers. And now Hield said fuck the Lakers.

  5. Buddy knew that if he joins the Lakers, LeBron will just pass the ball to his son or vice versa. Then he remember that he can become the Splash Buddy and that idea sealed the deal.
