C) Willie Cauley-Stein 3,000,000/ 4,100,000
2018 12th overall pick



Nuggets Send    

8th Overall pick in 2018

[Denver Nuggets]

I accept. WCS's fit next to Bagley is yet to be determined, but he was a great per minute producer last year despite sub-par minutes, and should only improve on his per-minute production this year. I would not have been able to grab a guy of his talent at 8.

[Dallas Mavericks]

This is an interesting trade for both teams. WCS is solid, but Sacramento has so much depth in their front court that I'm not sure WCS will get the minutes he deserves. I don't mind the Lakers packaging him with the 12th to move up to 8, I think it makes sense given the concerns. But I can also see Denver's reasoning that perhaps WCS gets traded or starts and succeeds, he does seem like a starting caliber NBA player.

I approve

I approve, I like this deal. WCS is good, but expiring in the foreseeable future, and who knows what Vlade at the Kings will do from one day to the next.

Good trade all round.
