Sacramento/Orlando

Sac: Gary Harris and #5

Orl: Hield, Bagley, #9, 2022 1st (top 3 protected, unprotected in 2023)

Sacramento gets cap relief (Harris expiring contract as opposed to Hield's remaining 3 years) and moves up in the draft, possibly taking Barnes or Kuminga to replace Bagley.

Orlando takes a shot at rehabbing Hield and Bagley's careers, moves slightly down in the draft, takes possibly 2 of Moody, Bouknight, Sengun, and Jalen Johnson, and picks up a protected 1st next year. The difference in cap fits into the trade exception Orlando has from the Fournier deal

Mannnn no! 😡 Magic definitely declined the deal.

Jesus is not available at 5, so you might want to tone it down on the value of the 5th pick. 🗑poster.

CLICK. Sound of a phone being hung up on Orlando.

Why does the Kings need "cap relief" when Bagley is also essentially an expiring contract. Hield's contact is essentially "cap relief" since salaries diminishes every year. Plus, Hield is reported into other and better trades than this.

You are one to talk Shizzee, this is fair value far and away. Sacramento wants to get rid of Hield and Bagley, they do that, get cap relief, and move up in the draft and get a much better player than they would if they stay where they are at.

This trade is exponentially better than anything you have ever posted on this site Shizzee.

Friedman, I just scoured the internet to find any rumors of trades involving Hield. All I found was this:

To the Lakers for Harrell, Kuzma and #22

To the 76ers with Bagley, either Fox or Haliburton, 3 1sts, and 3 swaps for Simmons

Are you trying to tell me either of those deals are better than what I proposed? Harrell and Kuzma are decent players but not really what the Kings need, and mortgaging the future and shipping off one of your best players for Simmons who has proven he can't be the guy?

In my proposal, the Kings get a much better player at 5 than they would at 9, get rid of 2 players they want to get rid of, get a decent bench piece in Harris, and open up cap space to chase a FA. What's not to like?

The player at #5 a big that the Kings desperately need? So TO THE KINGS, it's not really that great to move up to #5 from #9.

The 2022 first is almost enough on its own to move up to #5 from #9. Why are the Kings tossing in talent as well? Your salary reduction reasons don't make much sense when Hield has trade value.

The Lakers trade for Hield is better because it addresses the teams needs. A big in Harrell in case we don't resign Holmes, Kuzma to be a backup stretch and protection for when Bagley gets hurt/ traded. And the pick at #22 can be for a bench scorer with Halliburton moving into the starting rotation.

There is also a Hield to Memphis rumor as well you seemed to have missed.

MD, this is the kind of realistic trade that will help Orlando in the long run. Hield will contend for the starting SG position and Bagley will help bolster the PF/ C unit off the bench. Plus they still get 2 top 10 picks this year and pick up another 1st Rd pick next year or the year after.

Orlando could roll this lineup out

Anthony/ Fultz
Hield/ Hampton/ Moody
Okeke/ Ross
Isaac/ Bagley
Carter Jr/ Bamba/ Sengun

Give it a few years to gain chemistry and that team will be fun to watch for sure.
