Kings/Thunder Trade

[Rhino7]

Kings trade:
Jaden Ivey $6.9m $6.9m** $6.9m** RFA
Walker Kessler $3.1m   $3.1m** $3.1m** RFA
Jalen Hood-Schifino $3.8m $3.8m 3.8m** 3.8m** RFA

Thunder trade:
Kyle Kuzma $13.0m $13.0m $13.0m ($5m paid in 2024, $4.7m paid in 2025)
Malaki Branham $2.9m $2.9m** $2.9m** RFA


Kings accept. Needed an upgrade at SF and Branham has shown nice potential on a young Spurs roster. I have plenty of Centers, so Kessler was expendable. Ivey will be missed most, I still think he will end up having a solid career.

Kings will waive Shake Milton to make roster space.

Thunder accept:  I'm looking at Ivey as an upgrade over Branham (if he ever gets out of Monty Williams' dog house) and Kessler, when he gets healthy, as a solid young center to pair with Carter Jr.  Kuzma is a solid contributor but is slightly past the timeline of my team.
