If no other kings trade follows, do we think the Hunter for Keon Ellis/Schroeder trade moves the needle for them either way? I know people think highly of Ellis but haven't followed him enough to know

For the Kings or Cavs? Its a re-arranging deck chairs type deal. Although the Cavs may jump into the Giannis sweepstakes if they can move enough money to get under the second apron... or at least that's what someone inferred. Can't honestly remember who lol.

It saves the Cavs a bunch of money and may make Garland more expendable. I just don't think he has a lot of value. Nothing can save the Kings lol. They lost to the Wiz yesterday... or the other day after they pulled their starters for the entire 4th quarter.

Oh yeah talking about the Kings. Don't need it to save them, just need some juice for 2 extra wins down the stretch that can come from a shakeup.

Sacramento makes me genuinely sad.

What trades will other tanking teams make at the trade deadline? That's what I want to know. Will any of Giannis, MPJ, AD, the Kings vets, Mathurin, Ja, or Zion be moved? Maybe the Wizards buy out Khris Middleton. With this draft as loaded as it is, I can see tanking teams trying pretty hard to increase their odds of getting their hands on the top guys. Of course, wanting to move a player and finding a suitable trade partner are two different things. But we'll see soon enough.

Grizzlies beating the Timberwolves is nice.
