Seems like bargain compared to other contracts.

Good deal for the Kings.

Gonna be fun to watch them in the playoffs this season.

Dude was smart enough to know that the Kings had little leverage in this bargaining, theres a reason why he even leaked it to the media and still was getting this deal.

[Levity]

maxes out at $106 million if hes able to meet the incentives.


Follow-up from Woj: Deal includes exceedingly reachable bonuses (Top 10 three-point shooting, etc.) that get $86M base guarantee to $94M. Tougher climb to $106M.

More details from Amick: The incentives in Buddy Hield's Kings extension are team and player based, including things like All-Star appearances and Finals appearances. His salary declines 8% year over year, and is slated to take up just 13.5% of the cap in the fourth year."

Why would he accept that much less than Siakam?

Buddy should have held out for more. When the King's are giving a scrub like Harrison Barnes 4/yr 85 million, you should be holding out for at least 100 guaranteed (no incentives) over four years if you are Hield.

As a Kings fan I agree, I'm actually a little mad for him. He deserves more money.
