The Sacramento Kings agreed to trade Ray McCallum to the San Antonio Spurs for a future second round pick late Wednesday evening. On the surface, it may seem like a mistake. After all, you never trade a player to the Spurs. Their interest in a player means that player is good. This is known.
Looking at the trade a little closer, it's a win-win deal that makes sense for both teams. For the Kings, it was obvious that McCallum wasn't in the long-term plans. Before acquiring Rajon Rondo, the Kings spent the summer talking as though they didn't have a back-up behind Darren Collison.
