Ok I take back the praise I gave the Kings for the 1st round picks. This above fact makes the trade much less appealing for Sacramento and better for San Antonio.A few team folks are pointing this out to me: Charlotte's 2025 first-round pick that Sacramento is landing from San Antonio is top-14 protected — essentially guaranteed won't convey, and will instead become 2026 and 2027 CHA seconds. Kings *really* got back two firsts.

The main get for Chicago is the return of their own first rounder. Expect the Bulls to trade Nikola Vucevic before the deadline and go full tank mode the rest of this season.
This is of course the second blockbuster trade of the day. Early this morning the Mavs traded their young superstar Luka Doncic to the Lakers:
