The trade was made at a sudden timing.
The U.S. local media “ESPN” reported the trade between the Sacramento Kings and the San Antonio Spurs on the 15th (Korea time). It is a trade in which Jaylon McDaniels will transfer from Sacramento, and San Antonio will send one second-round draft pick in return.
It was a rather unexpected trade. McDaniels was traded from the Toronto Raptors to Sacramento this offseason. Of course, McDaniels averaged 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds during the 2023-2024 season. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an out-of-compete resource. However, it is questionable that he sent McDaniels immediately without making use of a single game.
Subsequent reports said Sacramento is not just looking for this trade, but is also looking for additional trades. And the scale could be huge. Sacramento sent McDaniels, did not accept players, and vacated a roster. In other words, it has become an environment where additional players can be strengthened.
The backup center is likely to be the position Sacramento is aiming for. Sacramento has been trying to find a backup center throughout the offseason. He agreed to renew his contract with Alex Ren for a year, but coolly, Ren is unfortunate as a backup center for the team seeking to win. 토토사이트
Kevin Hudder and Trey Lyles are likely to be trade cards. Hudder averaged 15.2 points and 3.3 rebounds in the 2022-2023 season, the first season of his transfer to Sacramento, but he was very sluggish in the 2023-2024 season with an average of 10.2 points and 3.5 rebounds. Sacramento acquired Derma DeRozan this offseason and also re-signed Malik Monk. Hudder’s position has been further reduced.
Lyles has consistently played as a backup forward for Sacramento. It seems unlikely that Sacramento, which has a weakened forward line, will send Lyles, sending Harrison Barnes.
The possibility of a massive trade cannot be ruled out. Like the recent trade between Cal-Anthony Towns of the New York Knicks, even star players can be traded at any time given the team’s financial position. Sacramento superstar De’Aaron Parks has yet to agree on an extension contract. Of course, Sacramento’s chances of trading Pax are close to zero, but the future is uncertain.
Will Sacramento’s follow-up trade be successful? If so, the key is who will be the hero.
