The only major-ish move made by the Sacramento Kings prior to the trade deadline brought De'Andre Hunter to the team. But after an almost immediate injury, Hunter was shelved for the rest of the season. With one year left on his contract, the Kings are left with an incredibly difficult decision.
There were two obvious reasons for the three team trade the Kings made with the Cavaliers and the Bulls. First, Sacramento wanted to move Keon Ellis, Dennis Schroder, and Dario Saric. Second, they wanted to get forward De'Andre Hunter on the roster and put him to work as a 3&D player.
