The Kings vets are not very attractive so their best play is to get distressed assets from others: -Lavine to Memphis for Ja who goes to NOP. Gives Memphis an exciting offensive player who only has 1.5 years left. -Pels send Dejounte to Kings and gives Ja a chance in a new market. -Sabonis for Lamelo. Sabonis is a great fit with Hornets youth, gives them rebounding and playmaking up front. -Demar to Miami. Perfect secondary playmaker to go in Heat passing offense. They get off Rozier who the Kings waive.

Kings end up younger with Ball and Murray. Plus a pick and salary relief.
