Buddy Hield has not shied away from speaking his mind when it comes to the current contract negotiations with the Sacramento Kings.

Hield claims that it’s not all about the money, even though every player should play for a max contract. It’s about being respected as a true part of this young Sacramento Kings core.

Sacramento has until Monday to sign Hield to a contract extension before he would become a restricted free agent.
