The Cleveland Cavaliers are trading De'Andre Hunter to the Sacramento Kings for Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis, sources told ESPN.
The three-team deal includes the Chicago Bulls acquiring Kings forward Dario Saric and two future second-round picks, sources said.
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.
