CELTS DUMP CASSELL
The Sacramento Kings acquired guard Sam Cassell and cash from the Boston Celtics for a conditional 2015 second-round draft pick.
What does it give the Sacramento Kings
Since Cassell is generally expected to be waived, it's not likely he will show up to be part of the team. The Sacramento Bee reports sources tell them that the deal leaves the Kings with roughly $340,000 in profit for helping the Celts open up a roster spot, so this is clearly an economic transaction for them.
What does it give the Boston Celtics
Sam I Am, who is 39 years old, hasn't played in a single game this season for Boston so it appears the team is trying to open up a roster spot for the stretch run. Moreover, they save some salary cap space with the move, so it's a double-win for them.
