Hield is certainly willing to try, saying after Game 6 that he would “like to be in Philly again.” “They traded for me,” Hield said. “I feel like they wanted me, too. To me, I looked at it as I came to the party late. I think you guys understand what I’m saying. There was a lot of injuries. Before I was here, the team was rolling . … “Right now, Philly is the priority for me.”

Daryl Morey on Buddy Hield: “I think, at no fault of Buddy’s, the fit was less good than I thought…I do think going forward it still could work depending on the players that are around Joel and Tyrese.” #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2024/05/06/bud… via @SixersWire – 9:35 AM

Kyle Neubeck: Morey on Buddy Hield: “The fit was less good than I thought” Says that when Embiid returned he was not able to get as many open shots as they expected, says it was their fault on the full roster evaluation rather than a failure of Buddy’s (and that he could still come back) -via Twitter @KyleNeubeck / May 6, 2024
Noah Levick: Buddy Hield said he’d like to stay in Philly. Feels team showed it wants him w/midseason deal, that he came “late to the party” as the Sixers tried to put everything together. Regardless, Hield said he’ll keep working hard on his game, trusts that things will work out for him. -via Twitter @NoahLevick / May 3, 2024
Tim Bontemps: Final: Knicks 118, Sixers 115 Buddy Hield’s buzzer heave misses, and New York survives a series that’ll go down as one of the most iconic you’ll ever see.
