VIDEO: Rare Footage of Owner Jeanie Buss From Lakers’ Game vs Kings Provides Huge Update on Next Signing

A user has just sent NBA fans on Twitter into a frenzy. A video of Sacramento Kings player Buddy Hield has gone viral where he can be seen shaking hands with the Los Angeles Lakers president Jeanie Buss.

The user who posted the video wrote,” Buddy Hield to Lakers Confirmed.”

Was Buddy Hield close to joining the Los Angeles Lakers?

The Los Angeles Lakers were very close to a trade involving the Kings guard, Buddy Hield. When the Lakers looked to strengthen their roster in the summer of 2020, Buddy Hield was one of the prime candidates.

The deal did not go through as Hield remained in the Sacramento Kings while the Lakers signed Russell Westbrook. Hield gave his opinions regarding the failed deal and mentioned how he has moved on from it.

Buddy Hield says while talking to NBA.com, “It’s basketball. If it happened, it happened. If it didn’t, it didn’t. But it’s basketball, and you have to live with it. It’s the business side of it. At the end of the day, I still have a job. I can go to all 30 teams in the league. As long as I have a job, I’m happy.”

Hield averages 15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game this season. The Lakers could’ve certainly used the services of a player like him as they are struggling with Russell Westbrook.

Fan reactions to the viral video

After a 122-114 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, a fan managed to capture a moment between the Lakers president and Hield. In the video, Jeanie Buss, the Lakers president can be seen shaking hands with Hield.

Have a look at the video.

Here are some of the best reactions to the viral video.

Whether the deal will go through or not, it’s still very early to call. But it will certainly blow everyone’s minds if it does go through.

There must be a reason as to why the Lakers coach would want Hield in his roster so badly.

This user might just have ruined everyone’s mood by saying something which might just be true. What if it’s just a casual greeting and nothing too serious? Nothing can be said as of yet.
