The Warriors cash in everything in a hail marry attempt to stay competitive for two more years.
The Kings are, or at least should be, rebuilding. They want assets and shouldn’t mind taking on salary. They could also flip Buttler next year after/if he recovers. Sabonis’ value is difficult to assess, but considering the lack of returning assets this might be a limited return for him.
This seems like a typical trade Trey Murphy trade, but as Kuminga’s value has taken a hit, this would also be in the light side.
