The News
The Kings acquired LaVine (personal), guard Sidy Cissoko, first-round picks in 2025, 2027 and 2031 and three second-round picks Sunday in a three-team trade also involving the Bulls and Spurs, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Our View
The Bulls will receive center Zach Collins, guards Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter and a 2025 first-round pick in the deal, while guards De'Aaron Fox and Jordan McLaughlin will head to San Antonio. Before missing Chicago's last three games while welcoming a new child, LaVine averaged 24.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.2 three-pointers in 34.1 minutes over his 42 appearances. In Sacramento, LaVine should essentially step into the big-minute role vacated by Fox, though LaVine will face more competition for usage than he did in Chicago with the Kings having center Domantas Sabonis, forward DeMar DeRozan and guard Malik Monk already on hand. LaVine is unlikely to join the Kings for their next game Monday in Minnesota, but he could be ready to make his team debut Wednesday versus the Magic in Sacramento.
