Kings Trade Mitchell, Vezenkov, Pick to Raptors

The Sacramento Kings have traded Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov, and the 45th overall pick to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Jalen McDaniels. This trade helps the Kings get $7 million under the luxury tax and opens up a roster spot. Mitchell, a defense-first guard, and Vezenkov, a former EuroLeague MVP, will bolster Toronto's defense and depth. McDaniels, a 6-foot-9 forward, struggled to secure a rotation spot in Toronto. This move aligns with the Raptors' offseason goals of adding a backup point guard and improving their defensive capabilities. The trade has yet to be made official.
