    Gotta get that money before the season starts and expectations kick it.

      Kong’s’ Buddy Hield not happy about his recent offer from the team


      “I just know where my value is at, and I’m not going to budge for nobody,” Hield said. “I work hard. I come in here every day and I do my job.”

      “It’s not frustrated, I’m just speaking to my heart,” Hield said. “I feel like people get mixed up with being frustrated. I’m just speaking what I believe and what I think. Like I said, there are 30 teams out there. If they don’t want to give me what I think I deserve, some team will give it to me. They’ll have the ability to match, or they’ll have the ability to let me go.”

      “The goal is to be here,” Hield told a larger contingent of media. “I love Sacramento, but if they don’t want me here, if they don’t feel like I’m part of the core. … I like respect and loyalty, and I feel like I’m part of the group that’s getting the team back to where it needs to be.”

      “Name one big free agent that came to Sacramento,” Hield said in the scrum. “I’ve been here three years trying to grow the program, grow the organization, and I feel like I could be rewarded close to that. But that’s just me. That’s my gut feeling.”

      Hield, via Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee:

      “I see it like an insult,” Hield said. “I feel like I’m worth more than that. If you say I’m your guy and you want to build around me, I just need you to show it. Actions speak louder than words. If you’re just talking and not showing nothing, I’m not going to respect it. I love playing here. I want to be here. This is my home. I’m trying to buy a house here, but everything is on stall mode because I don’t know if they’ll really commit to me.”

      “I don’t know if things are going to get done,” Hield said while standing in front of his locker with more than a dozen reporters gathered around and three team staffers hovering nearby. “If it don’t get done, me and my team will look for something else — probably another home. Until then, we’ll see if they really want me here.

        Think the Murray deal has given some of these guys inflated expectations.

        Having said that, I feel like what the Kings offered was more than far. Same goes for the Celtics and Brown. I think both are smart to wait and see what free agency brings. Beal’s recent extension now opens up even better opportunity on the open market.

          Didn't Jimmy Butler or Derrick Rose say something about KAT and Wiggins getting too much money before accomplishing anything?

          This would be one of those cases no?

            Get as much of it as you can, while you can. There’s always a team out there willing to overpay based of your potential and their desperation.

              But he hasn't done anything though. At least have an accomplishment to validate your statement. All star game, all NBA, playoff birth, all team defense... 3 point shoot out winner, something, dang.

              Do that before talking about getting them back to where they were.

                20ppg and 42% from 3 is pretty good, only Curry did better at both. Plus he's a good fit next to Fox.

                  You're gonna give me a 3pt percentage as to why he should get that much money?

                  Alright fam.

                    unfortunately this has become the standard definition of "potential"

                    anything you haven't done, just means you haven't done it yet

                          Buddy has been arguably the best outside shooter over the past 2-3 year span, as far as his role which isn't really comparable to guys like Curry/Dame and the shots they take.

                          With that said, he's asking for too much and I don't actually believe there is a team out there who will pay him what he's thinking he is worth. I'm all about trying to get as much money as you can, regardless of what you have or haven't done, but hopefully he isn't Nerlens Noel'ing himself here. There is a large list of guys who can get you 20 points on a bad team and make open 3's in today's NBA landscape who would sign for much less...

                            I'm the first guy that will back a player getting what they can from teams and making their money because these teams gonna do what they do without a second thought. But this ain't the look Buddy. They offered that man 4 years $90 million and he hasn't done nothing in this league. He's acting like they offered him 4 for 75 or something man lol. If he thinks he's worth more than that 90 then he BETTER make sure he shows it this season.

                              That's all I'm saying oj and king.

                              This dude demanding give me this or trade me like he's done something ground breaking.

                              Some guys you might have to overpay for to be or stay competitive but Buddy Hield demanding an overpay I don't know.
