The Sacramento Kings officially announced the completion of the draft night trade that sent Richaun Holmes and Olivier-Maxence Prosper to the Dallas Mavericks. With the official announcement, we also got clarification on what the Kings received back in the trade, and it’s the best news of all. We’re getting back a Kings Legend:
CASH CONSIDERATIONS
Dust off your Cash Considerations jersey, or just leave it framed on the wall and buy a new one with the new designs. The greatest King of all time is home again.
Jokes aside, the cash considerations are likely just meant to offset the trade kicker in Holmes’ contract. The real value to the Kings obviously is not a couple million in cash, but rather the flexibility it opened up to allow the Kings to extend Domantas Sabonis before he became an unrestricted free agent next summer.
As we track the order of operations, this was the first expected move. I expect the next announcement will be the Harrison Barnes extension because that will release the Barnes cap hold.
Remember the days when we couldn’t figure out how to properly complete trades and free agent acquisitions in the proper order and it screwed with our draft picks and cap space for years?
Nah, me neither…
Cash Considerations’ shot is money!
Him and TPE have a great two man game!
He deposits buckets
He laughs all the way to the bank shots.
Even his travelering’s check.
Cash considerations rule everything around me,
Get the money!
Dolla dolla bill, y’all.

Best of Luck Richaun.. I will cheer for you and I hope you win the lawsuit against that nasty reporter who wrote the really unfounded article and essentially convicting you without facts…
It has been a few days since I checked in to the site and I got excited after reading this headline. I was like “Oooohhhh, what legend came back? I didn’t know we got anyone back in that trade!” So I read all the other articles and saved this article for last to build up the anticipation. And then….thanks Greg, you ruined my…TKH reading experience. Congratulations! I fell hard for that headline.
Can someone with more life skill than I make a Kings one of these?
Badge Legend
