Hawks trading Kevin Huerter to Sacramento for Justin Holiday

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

James Ham @James_HamNBA
League source confirms the details of the pick involved in the Kevin Huerter trade. Kings first-rounder is lottery-protected in 2024, top-12 in 2025, top-10 in 2026 and converts into two seconds if it isn’t conveyed in 2026. – 1:32 PM

Looks like Hawks get a $3.65M TPE out of this Huerter trade. – 1:26 PM
Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
The first round pick heading in the trade from Sacramento to Atlanta in the Kevin Huerter deal is a 2024 lottery-protected first-round pick. Which will become top 12 protected in 2025 & then top 10 protected in 2026. – 1:24 PM

Sacramento has certainly addressed a priority this offseason: Shooting
Keegan Murray on draft night, Malik Monk on day 1 of FA and now Kevin Huerter in a trade.
Solid trade for the Kings front office – 1:21 PM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
The Kings deal for Huerter may not look like much on the surface but would have been tough for Celtics to top it without including an extra first round pick or more talent. Kings future first round pick > Celtics future first round pick. – 1:19 PM

Can confirm the Kevin Huerter to Sacramento trade, as @Adrian Wojnarowski reported, and I have no further comment at this time. – 1:18 PM

The Sacramento Kings have agreed to a trade with the Atlanta Hawks to acquire 23-year-old shooter Kevin Huerter in exchange for Moe Harkless, Justin Holiday, and a future first round pick, sources confirm. @Adrian Wojnarowski first to report. “Red Velvet” is a King. – 1:17 PM

What does Justin Holiday need to do to find an NBA home? – 1:15 PM

Huerter has already signed a 4-year/$65M deal. In 2022-23 season he will earn $14,508,929. #SacramentoProud1:15 PM
Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
The Kings did a really good move. They will add a consistant two-way guard, like Kevin Huerter, next to Fox, Mitchell and Monk. Their backcourt looks pretty promising for the upcoming season. #Sacramento1:13 PM

Atlanta is trading Kevin Huerter to Sacramento for Justin Holiday, Mo Harkless and a future first round pick, sources tell EPSN. – 1:10 PM

If CHA moves away from Miles Bridges, so many different directions come into play. One trade concept I’m mulling:
CHA: Harrison Barnes (1 yr, $18M), Richaun Holmes (3 yrs, $36M), Justin Holiday (1 yr, $6M)
SAC: Plumlee (1 yr, $9M), Oubre (1 yr, $12.6M), Bouknight (3 yrs, $15M) – 1:53 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
I still think Justin Holiday can be a valuable role player for the Sacramento Kings, just not as the high-volume shooter starting 2 that he was at the end of last season. – 5:33 PM

More on this storyline

There is a handful of ways the Hawks can get to $35.2 million in outgoing salary to match for Durant. John Collins, whose name has been all overtrade rumors all last week, would be a great start with his $23.5 million salary. After that, one of Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kevin Huerter, or Clint Capela would be enough to match salaries. It’s possible Brooklyn could look to get off Joe Harris and his remaining $38.6 million through 2023-24. If that’s a requirement, Atlanta could get there with a package including Collins, Bogdanovic, and Hunter. -via HoopsHype / June 30, 2022
