Fans have become more and more frustrated…and perhaps so too the franchise<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After franchise legend Klay Thompson announced his intentions to join the Dallas Mavericks during the offseason, the Golden State Warriors quickly moved to acquire another high-volume 3-point shooter in the form of Buddy Hield.<\/p>\n

The signing appeared to pay immediate dividends when Hield got off to a flying start, posting six 20+ point performances in his first seven games as the Warriors won 12 of their first 15 games.<\/p>\n

The Warriors could look to move on from Buddy Hield less than a year into his four-year contract<\/h2>\n

Since the opening few weeks of the season, Hield’s form has mirrored that of the team’s as Golden State have fallen two games below .500 and in jeopardy of missing the Play-In Tournament entirely.<\/p>\n

Hield has maintained a significant role in Steve Kerr’s rotation, but that’s more so based on the lack of shooting on the roster and the fact the Warriors have been so depleted by injury over recent weeks. The 31-year-old returned to the starting lineup in place of Dennis Schroder against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, and while he had a solid game with 17 points, his 3-point performance (1-of-7 shooting against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday was more indicative of his his recent play.<\/p>\n

Hield’s poor form could lead to him becoming a trade candidate before the February 6 deadline, with Anthony Slater of The Athletic mentioning the veteran guard alongside Gary Payton II, Kevon Looney and Dennis Schroder as possible players on the move over the next fortnight.<\/p>\n
