The Sacramento Kings find themselves in a very tricky situation just prior to the start of the 2019-20 season. Do they extend rising star shooting guard Buddy Hield ahead of the October 21st deadline or do they wait it out?
The question seems so simple on paper, but in reality, it is a convoluted mess full of loopholes, what-ifs, and exceptions. But this is the complicated NBA financial system we’re talking about here so of course it is.
This is what we know. The deadline to extend Hield prior to the season is October 21st, just eight days away at the time of writing.
