Over the summer, the Kings thought they had a deal that would have sent Buddy Hield to the Los Angeles Lakers for Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell, but the Lakers abruptly pulled out and made a move to acquire Russell Westbrook instead.
The Lakers are reportedly circling back now in hopes of acquiring Hield before the Feb. 10 NBA trade deadline, but the Kings don’t appear to be interested in what the Lakers are offering this time around.
Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reported on the “Posted Up” podcast that the Lakers have tried to engage the Kings in renewed talks for Hield, but a package built around Talen Horton-Tucker is not good enough for Sacramento.
