The Sacramento Kings finalized a trade Tuesday to send Trevor Ariza, Wenyen Gabriel, and Caleb Swanigan to the Portland Trail Blazers for Kent Bazemore, Anthony Tolliver, and two future second round picks. The trade saves Portland some money this year, saves the Kings the cost of Ariza’s partial guarantee next summer, and nets the Kings two more second rounders. The Kings love second rounders. They almost have enough to field a football team.
While we all love to grade trades right away, Richard Ivanowski already wrote about that for the Bee.
