9:30pm: The Davis deal is official, per an official Kings press release.
“Terence is a talented young player that adds depth and scoring ability to our backcourt,” GM Monte McNair said. “We are excited to see what he brings to Sacramento.”
1:55pm: The Kings and Raptors have agreed to a trade that will send second-year guard Terence Davis to Sacramento in exchange for a future second-round pick, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (Twitter link). The second-rounder will be the Grizzlies’ second-rounder that was owed to the Kings in this year’s draft, Blake Murphy of The Athletic tweets.
Sacramento will need to clear a roster spot for Davis. It must do the same in its reported 2-for-1 deal with Miami that will send Nemanja Bjelica to the Heat for Maurice Harkless and Chris Silva.
The undrafted Davis, who played college ball at Ole Miss, made a surprisingly strong debut for the Raptors last season. He averaged 7.5 PPG, 3.3 RPG and 1.6 APG in 16.8 MPG while appearing in 72 regular-season contests. He has been less effective this season in 34 appearances, averaging 6.9 PPG, 1.9 RPG and 1.1 APG in 14.5 MPG.
The Kings can make him a restricted free agent this offseason by extending a qualifying offer of $2.06MM. They can evaluate how Davis fits into their future plans over the next two months.
Davis had a tumultuous offseason in which he was arrested in New York and had domestic assault charges filed against him. A handful of the seven charges against Davis were dismissed. The judge in the case technically granted an “adjournment in contemplation of dismissal” for criminal mischief and endangering the welfare of a child, which means those charges will also be dropped as long as the he doesn’t run afoul of the law again for the next year.
Raps trading the whole team.
Lowry unbalanced trade incoming…right? First Thomas, then Davis?
Seems like a Luke Walton kind of guy
Kings did pretty well today. Getting TDavis & DWright are both good moves for an already strong backcourt. Now they just need to fire Luke Walton & get/keep Bagley healthy
1 minutes after trade deadline
Last week Rockets want to trade Oladipo for 2021 top 5 pick
So not Davis for Whiteside and picks?¿?? Pure L.
Sacramento beefed up the middle of their lineup without risking anything, small moves can make a difference sometimes.
Terrence Davis doesn’t move the needle, homie. Another case of you having no idea what you’re talking about
