« I feel like we got the best player traded at the deadline. » These laudatory remarks from Daryl Morey dated last February were aimed Buddy Hield. A statement which contrasts with the feeling of the leader of the Sixers today towards the player recovered from the Pacers.
After starting very strongly when he arrived in Pennsylvania, with four games in a row with 20 points or more, the guard drafted by the Pelicans (6th choice in 2016) experienced a severe decline. Returning to Nick Nurse’s bench, he had more difficulty reaching the 10-point mark.
The return of Joel Embiid, to the infirmary most of the time in the weeks following his arrival, did not really have any favorable effects. While the association between the two men, on paper, did not lack interest in generating spaces mutually, a bit like what JJ Redick brought to the pivot a few years ago.
« I think, through no fault of Buddy, the marriage was worse than I thought. », slice today Daryl Morey, thinking of the series of playoffs missed by his shooter. While he was happy to discover the final stages, the guard did not have an impact in the first three games against the Knicks, and did not even play the next two.
A reaction during the last match of the year
Nick Nurse still revived him during the sixth and final match in which the Bahamas shooter, recovered in exchange for Marcus Morris, Furkan Korkmaz and two second rounds of Draft, showed himself in a much better light with 20 points .
« Obviously Buddy spent most of his time without Joel, but I thought with Joel back, with his impact and skill, he would get more open shots, which hasn’t been the case . So it’s my fault that it didn’t work out the way we hoped. I still think it’s one of the best acquisitions », Maintains the president of the Sixers.
The latter says he is very happy “ that he showed what he can do in Game 6 “, more ” Certainly no one was more disappointed than him that he fell out of the rotation. Nick saw that based on the way they defended us, it was difficult for him to have an impact on the match. And when they switched on defense, he showed what he could do. »
Enough to revive this marriage, as Buddy Hield reaches the end of his last year of contract at $19 million? Highlighting the impact of other mid-season acquisitions, Kyle Lowry and Cam Payne, Daryl Morey said: “ It didn’t work as well as we hoped with Buddy, but I think in the future it can still work depending on the players around Joel and Tyrese (Maxey). »
