According to Shams Charania<\/a> the Cleveland Cavaliers have traded De\u2019Andre Hunter to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis.<\/p>\n

The deal also involves the Chicago Bulls, who acquire Dario Saric along with two future second-round picks. The Croatian forward, on an expiring $5.4 million contract, will be absorbed by Chicago, which waived guard Jevon Carter.<\/p>\n

Cleveland moves on from a talented player who was unable to consistently perform at a high level after last season’s strong finish. Head coach Kenny Atkinson adds a reliable option at point guard with the arrival of Schroder, while Ellis is expected to provide a significant boost on the defensive end, particularly on the perimeter.<\/p>\n

From a financial standpoint, and according to ESPN\u2019s Bobby Marks<\/a>, the Cavaliers will save approximately $50 million<\/a> in combined salary and luxury tax payments, reducing their tax bill from $164 million to $120 million.<\/p>\n

Sacramento gains added roster flexibility and will have the option to convert two-way center Dylan Cardwell to a standard NBA contract. The Bulls, meanwhile, collect future assets and take on Saric\u2019s expiring deal, facilitating the completion of the three-team trade. Hunter should see increased usage and opportunities in Sacramento as he looks to rediscover his shooting rhythm.<\/p>\n

Chicago\u2019s plans for Saric remain unclear. Having appeared in just 21 games over the past two seasons, a potential buyout cannot be ruled out, which could make Saric an intriguing option on the EuroLeague market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
