The day of "the trade" I hated Buddy Hield. Well, I'll be honest. I hated everything, including Vlade. But slowly but surely I came to accept two facts:
1. DeMarcus Cousins and the Kings needed to part company.
2. Buddy Hield was way better than I had given him credit for.
Now Buddy Buckets is one of my favorite players. He has all the traits I look for: heart, hustle, energy, enthusiasm. It's obvious he loves the game. It's also obvious that he is a true team player. You never see him frown or complain, you never see him pouting. He does his job and he's a key part of our team going forward.
I'll have that crow sauteed in butter please.
