The Portland Trail Blazers are set to trade swingman Kent Bazemore to the Sacramento Kings, along with Anthony Tolliver and a couple of draft picks in a multi-player, salary-shedding deal, reports ESPN.
The Blazers will also send Anthony Tolliver and two future second-round draft picks to Sacramento in the deal which will save Portland a reported $12.5m in salary, with the Kings sending Trevor Ariza, Wenyen Gabriel and Caleb Swanigan the other way in the trade.
Portland will also see its luxury tax bill drop to $7m with the trade and has created a couple of trade exceptions with the deal, which will expire next January, including a handily large one of $7.2m.
Bazemore and Tolliver are on expiring deals, while Ariza has his contract partially guaranteed for next season.
The Blazers are currently 18-26 for the season.
