The Cavaliers have agreed to trade the No. 29 overall pick to the Kings, according to multiple reports. Sources tell Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link) that the deal will send the No. 34 pick and a future second-rounder to Cleveland, with Sacramento using its newly acquired first-rounder to nab UConn forward Alex Karaban.
Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reported earlier today that the Cavs were exploring a deal involving the No. 29 pick. By moving from the first round into the second round, the cap-strapped could potentially sign its No. 34 pick to a rookie-minimum deal rather than a rookie scale contract, generating some savings.
