"If you tune out the rumors, this season has been painfully quiet on the transaction front. The deal that broke last night was only the second trade of the regular season, but it could be the small domino that teams needed to finally crack the dam. The Sacramento Kings acquired De'Andre Hunter, sending Keon Ellis and Dennis Schröder to the Cleveland Cavaliers."
"Bleacher Report Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report dropped a "Grade the Trade" article for the deal that went down today, and he handed the Bulls an "A". Honestly, his reasoning was pretty hard to argue with. "This is a no-brainer for the Bulls," Bailey wrote. "The chances of those picks turning into great NBA players are slim, but Chicago essentially got those outside chances for nothing. This is just smart asset management for a middling team.""
The Sacramento Kings acquired De'Andre Hunter while sending Keon Ellis and Dennis Schröder to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Kings sent Dario Šarić's expiring contract to Chicago, and both the Kings and Cavaliers contributed second-round picks to complete the transaction. Chicago's compensation primarily consisted of an expiring contract and nominal draft assets described as a participation trophy that cost the team nothing. The move broke a quiet stretch of regular-season trades and could catalyze more roster movement across the league. Media response to Chicago's role in the deal was largely positive, framing the pickup as smart asset management.
