Top NBA Free Agent Makes Honest Statement on Joining Warriors

The Golden State Warriors have not made a big splash in the trade market this summer, but they have been active in free agency. Acquiring one of the top NBA free agents in Buddy Hield via sign and trade, Golden State found their replacement for Klay Thompson's production.

While Hield and Thompson are not identical players, Golden State will likely use their new sharpshooter in a similar role to the one Thompson occupied last season. As for Hield, the Warriors are a team he says he always wanted to play for.

“I’d just known for years that the Warriors was a team I always wanted to play for,” Hield said in a video shared by the Warriors. “The way they move the ball, they’re always in championship caliber mode. And just to learn from guys like Steph [Curry], and Draymond [Green], and Steve [Kerr], and Andrew [Wiggins], because I admire the way they approach the game. I just want to be a part of that, and see what it’s like to be on this side.”
