Pacers general manager on Buddy Hield: Our intention is to have him on our team this year
Tony East: Pacers GM Chad Buchanan on the Buddy Hield situation: Buddy is someone that we love having on our team, we want him on our team this year. The business of basketball comes into play at times, we’ve had talks with him about an extension and those talks are at a half right now. That’s not to say that they’re done. We’d like to have Buddy with us, we have no intention of trying to move Buddy but it’s also our job to listen if opportunities come that help us improve the team. That’s what we have to do as a front office. But our intention is to have Buddy on the team this year and have him be a big part of our group.

🏾💯 – More on this storyline
Sources tell me that Hield is open to a trade elsewhere, but no deal is imminent, and there aren’t any current substantive talks with any other team. There is no urgency on the part of the Pacers to make a move at this time. -via The Athletic / September 26, 2023
The handful of execs I spoke to post-show were unanimous in their view that Hield’s looming free agency, with only this coming season left on his current contract at $19.3 million, will complicate Indiana’s efforts to generate offers that feature more than multiple second-round picks attached to the contract(s) needed to match Hield’s salary. -via marcstein.substack.com / September 24, 2023
