NBA negotiation deadline: The Kings allegedly acquired Detroit’s Delon Wright

Sacramento Kings made their second term change, acquiring more talent, but this time at a real cost.

Cory Joseph is on his way to Detroit with two choices for Delon Wright’s runoff. Despite having four years less experience in the NBA, Wright is only a year younger than Joseph, so it is unclear why the Kings thought he would fit better in his timeline.

Wright is another defensive-minded guard with a questionable jumper. At 6’5, he is more playable in lineups of three guards than Joseph, but this is still a strange assessment for the Kings considering that they have their future guard at De’Aaron Fox and another ball handler at Tyrese Haliburton. Wright is in the second year of a three-year contract and is expected to pay $ 8.5 million next season.

Sacramento was previously in talks with the Pistons about Saddiq Bey; these conversations did not take place, but they may have laid the foundations for this specific trade.

In addition, watching Woj break that trade on live television is a pleasure.

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
