How This Trade Impacts Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings would have different motivations for making a deal like this with the Cleveland Cavaliers. One reason is to diversify their frontcourt attack and balance the roster.

Right now the Kings don’t have much floor spacing in their frontcourt. The only consistent threat from the perimeter in the frontcourt is Harrison Barnes, who bumps down to the small forward spot in certain situations.

Kevin Love, while struggling this season with his jump shot, is a bonafide scoring threat in the frontcourt and someone that can space the floor. He would add a dimension to the team that Sacramento is currently missing.

From a financial standpoint, this is also a win for the Sacramento Kings. While Love is paid more than Hield, his contract is one season shorter. Love will be a free agent in 2023, while Hield is signed through 2024.
