The Cavaliers, Kings and Bulls completed a three-team trade that reshaped backcourts in Cleveland and added a new wing piece in Sacramento.
In the deal, Cleveland acquired guards Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder. Sacramento’s return was forward De’Andre Hunter.
What changed for Cleveland
The Cavaliers addressed their guard rotation by bringing in both Ellis and Schroder, adding two ball-handling options to the roster. The move gives Cleveland additional depth in the backcourt following the transaction.
Sacramento’s addition
The Kings added Hunter, a forward, in a move that shifts their incoming talent toward the wing/forward spot rather than the guard line. Hunter’s arrival represents the headline addition for Sacramento in the three-team swap.
How the deal is being evaluated
