Trade Package:

Not too much explaining needs to be done here.

With Mason clearly out of the Kings plans for 2018 and beyond, theres no reason why the Kings should hesitate in trading him.

However, Mason, as a former high second-rounder, should have some value. Especially after showing flashes of potential in 2017-18.

There’s no player on the Bulls roster that matches up well with the Kings in a potential trade. Payne would have no place on the Kings. The Kings wouldn’t want to take a large contract (Cristiano Felicio, Robin Lopez), and have no need for a player of equal value (Antonio Blakeney, Paul Zipser).

However, the Kings would want something in return. A future second-rounder, maybe even a protected one, is an appropriate return to Sacremento in exchange for Mason’s services.

Next. Cubs bold deadline predictions. dark

The Bulls could look towards other cheap point guard options across the league, but Mason, given his potential and cheap cost, makes perfect sense.

Admittedly, it’d be pretty cool to bring in a former midwest college star in the process.
