Why The Sacramento Kings Do The Deal
Parting with Huerter will sting for the Kings. He’s having a breakout season in Sacramento. With that said, he’s no Zach LaVine.
Specifically, limited athleticism means that Huerter can’t generate offense in the half court as effectively. LaVine isn’t having his best season in Chicago, but he remains a star player. Huerter isn’t on that level.
In other words, this deal has the Kings going all-in. They’d be forming one of the most athletic backcourts in the NBA between LaVine and De’Aaron Fox.
Opponents will struggle to contain their dribble penetration on a nightly basis.

Especially with Sabonis as a low-block passing hub. This offense is already dynamic – by adding LaVine, it should become elite. The Kings won’t just be making a playoff run following this deal – they’ll have a real shot at winning a series or two.
Where will the Bulls end up?
