It's over!
Jonathan Kuminga is now in Atlanta, alongside Buddy Hield, as they were traded for Kristaps Porzingis.
A two for one, no picks involved.
Trace Jackson-Davis traded to Toronto for a 2026 second-round pick.
That is from the Lakers, so I'm gonna start with you, man.
What's your thoughts on this deal?
Well, the Trace deal, y- you kinda get it, because he was rarely in the rotation, wasn't playing much, and you know, I think there was a use for him at times, but he just never was a stable- a staple member of the rotation.
And so But I think the Kuminga thing, obviously, it's been a long national night- a long, well, regional nightmare.
we have known since last season that this was gonna come, this was gonna happen.
There was gonna be a divorce at some point.
Didn't know when, didn't know how, you know.
Figured, okay, when he gets to restricted free agency last summer, maybe then.
Didn't happen.
Said, okay, they re-sign him, two-year contract with the team option for the year two- for year two.
Okay, well, now you can't trade him until January 15th.
Figure, okay, January 15th, from that point to the trade deadline on February 5th, that window is open to move JK.
And I kept hearing that the market for him was not that hot.
Mm-hmm.
And for them to make the move with the Hawks and get Kristaps Porzingis, in theory, it makes sense, because JK wasn't playing.
And Buddy, you know, he runs hot and cold, but lately he's been playing pretty well.
But it makes sense because Porzingis is, is a legitimate seven foot two.
