NBA Trades: 3-team trade would land Dillon Brooks on Sacramento Kings

NBA Trades: 3-team trade would land Dillon Brooks on Sacramento Kings: The trade

Kings receive: Dillon Brooks, Marcus Morris

Grizzlies receive: Harrison Barnes, Richaun Holmes, 2028 2nd-Round Pick (via SAC), 2028 2nd-Round Pick (via LAC)

Clippers receive: Steven Adams, Killian Tillie, 2026 1st-Round Pick, 2023 2nd-Round Pick

Starting off with the Kings, this deal would see them land two key pieces to their rotation – a dynamic scorer and defensive-minded wing and a sparkplug scorer.

Brooks would slot in as the defensive-minded wing who could also act as a scorer for the Kings. He’s heading into the last year of his deal, though, so the Kings would have to worry about extending him.

As for Morris, he would be a culture-setter for the Kings. His energy and scoring efforts would provide the Kings with an amazing rotational piece to utilize in their lineup.

Next up, the Grizzlies’ side of this deal may seem a bit odd, considering Brooks played a fairly crucial role for them last year. However, instead of trying to extend him, trading him for solid value could be smart.

Barnes would give them a 3&D forward to plug into their lineup. Meanwhile, Holmes would replace Adams in their rotation, who is also under the contract for longer, giving them more long-term flexibility.

Lastly, the Clippers would get into this trade in an attempt to fill in a hole on their roster. Morris has been a great player for them, but with Kawhi Leonard returning and Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum already on the roster, they may consider him expendable.

And since they lost Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency, adding Adams to the rotation would give them a quality center to share minutes with Ivica Zubac.
