The Sacramento Kings and Toronto Raptors have agreed on a trade that would send Malachi Richardson to the Raptors and Bruno Caboclo to the Kings.

Richardson is in his second season in the NBA, averaging 3.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.5 assists on 33-percent shooting in just 12.8 minutes per game.
Caboclo has been in the G-League this season, averaging 14.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 2.4 three-pointers per game, but he hasn't been able to get any run in Toronto.
While the Raptors have been competing atop the Eastern Conference in pursuit of an NBA Finals appearance and a championship, the Kings remain bottom feeders in the Western Conference, and they'll likely either add Caboclo to the already young roster they're currently developing or release him.
Earlier today, the Kings traded away George Hill to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a multi-team trade that brought back Joe Johnson and Iman Shumpert.
