This Trade just got A LOT more Real...
The Sacramento Kings traded Nique Clifford to the Thunder, and it changes the math on a Toronto Raptors trade for Domantas Sabonis. Sacramento now has 2 open roster spots and is $6.4 million under the luxury tax, which means an RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl package for Sabonis no longer pushes the Kings into the tax. But it doesn't fix everything: the Kings still don't want Poeltl's extension, and the Nets have been linked to Sabonis too. Then Alijah Martin's career night in Milwaukee, 27 points and 6 of 7 from 3, raises the real question: who plays the wing minutes if RJ goes?
Would you trade RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl for Domantas Sabonis right now? Do it or wait? Let me know in the comments.
