Glad to see the Special Projects Desk is doing such important work!

While this may seem like a ridiculously bad haul for the Kings, the trade *does* help free up their incredibly packed front court, recoups a desperately needed first round pick, acquires an interesting wing player in Hield, and rids them of a toxic player.

Looks like the Clippers have a puncher’s chance with Blake Griffin playing point guard.
