The Bayou Bomber is Brooklyn bound.
By | 0 Comments | Feb 26, 2019

As of yet, no additional players or teams have been added to the deal.

For Sacramento, this trade doesn't save that much money (about $956,000 next year), but it does break up Thornton's contract into two smaller pieces and also gives the Kings a couple of veterans on cheap deals that will both be expiring contracts next season.  Terry can also act as a secondary ball handler in a pinch.

Thornton is having a career-worst year in almost every category, but Brooklyn must believe that he can return to his former self as a bench scorer surrounded by multiple veterans on a playoff team.

UPDATE 10:36 AM: Per David Aldridge and Adrian Wojnarowski, the deal structure is in place but there is still some slight haggling on the Kings possibly sending a future 2nd round pick to the Nets.  Here's a link to the Kings current future pick obligations.

UPDATE 10:40 AM: SportsCenter is reporting the trade has been agreed to in principle.

UPDATE 2:10 PM: The Kings have sent out a press release on the trade.
