NBA Trade Deadline: Buddy Hield to 76ers
The Pacers acquired Marcus Morris, Furkan Korkmaz, and three second round picks from the Sixers in exchange for Buddy Hield.
Buddy Hield spent most of his career with the Sacramento Kings before being traded to the Indiana Pacers in the deal that saw all-star Tyrese Haliburton get moved.
Throughout his time in Indiana, he was allowed to be a solid complimentary piece of Haliburton in the backcourt.
The former Oklahoma product will now join the Sixers, where he can provide much needed backcourt depth and floor spacing.
With Embiid out due to a torn Meniscus and is expected to miss significant time for the Sixers, Hield gives the Sixers another big-time scoring threat.
Morris comes to Indiana after being traded to Philadelphia as a part of the Sixers deal that moved James Harden To the Clippers.
He brings a veteran presence to one of the younger teams in the league.
The Pacers splashed a few weeks back by acquiring Raptors forward Pascal Siakim.
They continue adding much-needed depth with Marcus Morris and Furkan Korkmauz to their roster.
