Yossi Gozlan: The Pistons will need to include another player or waive a player to make room for the two-for-one. Jaden Ivey for Kevin Huerter works straight up. Dario Saric will go into the $14.1 million Dennis Schroder trade exception. They have $8.7 million remaining in it.
Bobby Marks: To Chicago Conley: $10.8M Ivey: $10.1M To Detroit Huerter: $17.9M Saric: $5.4M Detroit was $19.9M below the tax prior to the trade
Shams Charania: Just in: Chicago, Minnesota and Detroit have agreed to a multi-team deal that sends Jaden Ivey and Mike Conley Jr. to the Bulls and Kevin Huerter and Dario Saric to the Pistons, sources tell ESPN. Detroit also receives a 2026 first-round protected swap from Minnesota.
Joel Lorenzi: Billy Donovan to reporters in Miami on Dario Saric: “I’ve heard nothing but great things. I’ve always loved his IQ, his feel for the game. He hasn’t been in the rotation a whole lot this year, but a veteran guy that’s been around. … in terms of getting him caught up to speed in terms of what we do, I’d imagine it’d be pretty simple for him.”
Chicago Bulls: OFFICIAL: We have acquired Dario Saric from the Sacramento Kings along with 2027 and 2029 second-round picks in a three-team deal also involving the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cleveland and Sacramento have discussed a framework that would send Cavaliers forward De’Andre Hunter to the Kings for Keon Ellis, Dennis Schroeder, and Dario Saric, league sources told HoopsHype. A third team could be looped in to take on Saric, and second-round draft pick compensation also could be added to the framework, sources said.

Kuminga wants a fresh start with a new team and the Warriors have given him reason to question their commitment to him. He likes the opportunity the Kings have presented, but the Warriors seem unwilling to accept a package featuring Devin Carter, Dario Saric and draft compensation, which could a protected first-round pick or multiple second-round picks. The Warriors would probably be quick to pull the trigger on a deal involving Keegan Murray or Keon Ellis. However, a source with knowledge of trade conversations told The Sacramento Bee that Murray and Ellis have not been discussed and both are considered off limits in talks for Kuminga.
League sources told The Stein Line on Saturday that the Nuggets, behind the scenes, are signaling to Jonas Valanciunas that they do not intend to let him out of his NBA contract. Denver has needed a trusty backup for its three-time MVP for ages and thought it had finally filled that need when the Kings — who have a similar pressing need Dario Saric smaller salary to complete the agreed-to signing of free agent point guard Dennis Schroeder — signed off on a Valančiūnas-for-Šarić swap.
Denver has also tried to land Jonas Valanciunas for the past couple of seasons, HoopsHype has learned. Heading into the upcoming season, Valanciunas is expected to have a big role in the team’s rotation, which would allow the Nuggets to rest Nikola Jokic more during the season. Meanwhile, Valanciunas is expected to address the situation soon, HoopsHype has learned. The Nuggets would unload Dario Saric’s $5.43 million salary off the books for the Nuggets, which is something they’ve tried to do dating back to before the trade deadline last season, league sources said.
