随着NBA交易截止日期的临近，一些重磅交易已经开始影响联盟未来的格局。独行侠近期完成了两笔引人注目的交易，其中包括一桩震惊全联盟的三方交易——东契奇被送往湖人，而安东尼-戴维斯则加盟独行侠。此外，独行侠还从76人引入了凯莱布-马丁。
其他重要转会也在持续进行中，包括福克斯加盟马刺，以及拉文从公牛被交换到国王。同时，巴特勒与热火之间的一场闹剧终于落下帷幕，他通过一笔四方交易加入勇士队。在截止日前夕，还有英格拉姆前往猛龙，以及雄鹿将米德尔顿送至奇才换来库兹玛等重大变动。

Sacramento Kings 评分：B+
This transaction is a follow-up to the trades involving Fox joining Spurs and LaVine moving to Kings as his replacement. The second-round picks from Denver that were sent along with Sissoko to Wizards came from this three-team deal. Importantly, trading Huerter to Bulls allowed the Kings to absorb Valanciunas' salary without luxury tax concerns.
//以下是新段落The decision not to use their salary cap flexibility on Tre Jones’ contract (who was sent in the Fox trade) indicates that Sacramento prioritizes strengthening its frontcourt over finding a direct replacement for Fox at traditional point guard positions. With LaVine, Monk, DeRozan, and rookie Devin Carter already part of the roster, they have enough ball handlers but lack size off the bench.
关于瓦兰丘纳斯:
You can’t overlook Valanciunas’s physical presence; standing at 2.11 meters tall and weighing 120 kilograms makes him well-equipped for battles against bigger opponents. Previously, Sacramento relied on Trey Lyles—standing only 2.06 meters—as Sabonis's backup center despite being more suited as a power forward himself.

"As expected entering deadline day," notes Kevin Pelton "Valanciunas had much stronger market interest than when he signed last summer.".
