"The Cavaliers turn Hunter's salary slot into two guards for their depth in point guard help with Schroder and a top defender on the market with Ellis. The Cavaliers also save about $50 million in salary and luxury tax bills this season due to the transaction and drops their tax bill from $164 million to $120 million, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks."
"The Kings receive an established '3-and-D' wing under contract through next season at the age of 28 in Hunter, who has averaged 14 points and 4.2 rebounds. It also brings roster flexibility to the Kings, including space to convert two-way center Dylan Cardwell to a standard NBA deal. Cardwell has been a revelation for the Kings as an undrafted rookie, averaging 4.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.6 blocks in 19.4 minutes per game."
The Cleveland Cavaliers traded De'Andre Hunter to the Sacramento Kings for Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis in a three-team deal that sends Dario Saric and two future second-round picks to the Chicago Bulls. The Cavaliers convert Hunter's salary into backcourt depth with Schroder and a defensive wing in Ellis while cutting about $50 million in salary and luxury tax obligations, reducing their tax bill from $164 million to $120 million and positioning to get under the second apron next season. The Kings add a 28-year-old '3-and-D' wing in Hunter and roster flexibility to convert two-way center Dylan Cardwell to a standard deal.
