The NBA’s trade season is officially here.

In the first major move approaching this year’s trade deadline, the Cleveland Cavaliers have traded forward De’Andre Hunter to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for guards Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis, as reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Furthermore, the trade will include the Chicago Bulls acquiring Kings forward Dario Saric and two future second-round picks.

ANALYSIS: The Cavaliers turned Hunter’s slot for more guard depth by acquiring Schroder and Ellis. Schroder slots in immediately as the team’s veteran backup point guard behind Donovan Mitchell, while Ellis is a stingy on-ball guard defender that can shoot the three, easily playing alongside Mitchell as well.

This move for Cleveland likely comes from the emergence of second-year forward Jaylon Tyson this season, who is currently averaging 13.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists on 51.4% shooting from the field and a blistering 46.3 percent from three.

This move should be a win-win situation as well for the Kings as they acquire a two-way forward on a relatively manageable contract with his current production in consideration. Hunter will join the Kings’ roster full of promising players around Domantas Sabonis, as they try to navigate this season and build winning habits while trying to secure a high draft pick in next year’s draft.

Hunter will now be alongside players like Keegan Murray, Nique Clifford, and Maxime Raynaud with veterans DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Russell Westbrook, as the Kings’ roster is starting to take shape moving forward.
