The Kings doubling down on this team wasn't on my bin- lol I'm kidding. Sacramento gave up a pick in this!
Happy we get a chance to see Keon Ellis in a bigger setting. Cavs clearly do this looking to him as a 3rd G, providing another bite at what they'd hoped to get from Lonzo.

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

Only he and LaMelo have both a 3P Shooting Quality & Creation Volume >= 95th percentile.
And unlike Ball, Spencer's shooting comes a ton from movement.

I believe an apologie to Donovan Mitchell is in order.
The one thing I remain properly curious about is hwo much will the league have to tinker with selections once it's all said and done

Here are the 10 All-Star starters, as voted by fans (50%), players (25%) and media (25%). Coaches will select 7 reserves for each conf.
From that 24-player pool, NBA will create three 8-man teams: one World team, two US teams
If there's an imbalance, the NBA will either shift players or ADD more.

🏀📊 I feel pretty good about focusing early on Houston's offense being so carried by an impossible overperfomance from beyond the arc.
With them being .500 across their last 20 games, we can pull up this visualization again and see where the Rockets now sit.

🏀📊 His defense has been outstanding from day 1, but with his role, the change in his ability to stay out of foul trouble is a big development compared to his rookie season.

🏀📊The Wizards have given Kyshawn George a bigger shot creation role in his 2nd season.
And looking at the changes in context and outcomes, his growth shows the potential is there.
We don't yet see a positive impact on the offense globally but the trend is rewarding the bet from FO/coaching staff.

Something so obvious and so explicit for weeks that it didn't deserve a breaking news graphic from Shams lol. (As if the team didn't want to trade him as well)

While the expectations of this trio were higher than what we've seen this season, I will also say that Moody does feel like a different situation than what we're seeing with Hield and with Podz.

Despairing how the Warriors are so out of step with an NBA that has realized attacking early is a marginal advantage on possessions.
Golden State is bottom 5 in avg time to shot after both defensive and offensive rebounds... and dead last after an opponent turnover!
