While players like Bojan Bogdanović, P.J. Washington, Grant Williams, Gordon Hayward, Royce O'Neale, Dennis Schröder, Kelly Olynyk, Daniel Gafford and Patrick Beverley all switched teams on trade deadline day, no deal will turn out to be more important than Buddy Hield going to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Philly is in an incredibly difficult spot, trying to still stay afloat in the East while waiting for a hopeful return from Joel Embiid from a knee injury. A 4-12 record this season without the MVP center hasn't inspired much confidence, however.

Hield isn't just one of the most prolific three-point shooters in today's game, either. The 31-year-old is a talented passer when called upon to do so and should have plenty of opportunities to make plays for his new teammates. This is crucial considering Tyrese Maxey is making 46.1 percent of his catch-and-shoot threes, compared to just 32.3 percent of his pull-ups.
