[1] At around 5 a.m. Taipei time, whistleblower Adrian Wojnarowski revealed the deal. The details are that the Trail Blazers sent Kent Bazemore, Anthony Tolliver and two second-round picks, while the Kings sent Trevor Ariza, Caleb Swanigan and Wenyen Gabriel.
[2] The Pioneer saves half of the luxury tax in this transaction, which is worth approximately US$12.3 million. Saving money and accumulating second-round picks are believed to be the main focus of this deal.
[3] These two picks are the Trail Blazers' second-round picks in 2024 and 2025 respectively.
[4] Another eye-catching point is the exchange of maladaptive new reinforcements between two teams that are in worse than expected condition. Bazemore was acquired from the Trail Blazers in exchange for Evan Turner from the Hawks in the summer, with one year of 19 million remaining on his contract. Ariza signed a two-year, $25 million contract with the Kings during the summer vacation (Note: The guaranteed contract next year is only $1.8 million. The execution deadline is June 30)
[5] The Trail Blazers received trade exceptions of 7.2 million and 1.7 million in this transaction.
[6] After completing the transaction, the Kings will continue to look for a buyer and send away Dewayne Dedmon (note: he signed a three-year, 40 million contract with the Kings this summer), who is maladaptive and openly seeking trades. I believe two more draft picks will help.
[7] Anthony Tolliver has played for 9 teams in his career, but this transfer did not increase his city collection because he played for the Kings in the 2016-17 season.
[8] In fact, Caleb Swanigan was the 26th overall pick in the first round of the 2017 draft by the Trail Blazers. He was traded to the Kings by Portland in February last year for Skal. Labissière, and now he's back with his parent club.
[9] Wenyen Gabriel is a rookie player who signed a two-way contract with the Kings and signed a guaranteed contract.
