Kevin Huerter Dealt To Chicago
10 mins agoAccording to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Bulls, Kings, and Spurs agreed to a three-team trade on Sunday, resulting in guard Kevin Huerter, guard Tre Jones, and forward/center Zach Collins heading to Chicago. Also included in the trade; the Kings will acquire guard Zach LaVine and guard Sidy Cissoko, with the Spurs obtaining guard De'Aaron Fox and guard Jordan McLaughlin. Huerter played in Atlanta for four seasons before most recently suiting up for the Kings. He had the best year of his career in 2022-23, averaging 15.2 points and 40.2% shooting from behind the arc. However, the 2018 No. 19 overall pick has struggled since then, and he was also limited to 64 games last season due to a shoulder injury. But with Chicago now without LaVine, there is room in the lineup for others to step up. While LaVine's departure likely means Coby White, Josh Giddey, Ayo Dosunmu, and Nikola Vucevic (assuming he remains on the roster) will see more scoring opportunities, Huerter has an excellent chance of being more productive as long as he remains healthy.
