Nuggets, Heat Express Interest In Eric Moreland In Trade Talks With Kings
Jun 25, 2015 1:45 PM
The Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat have discussed deals with the Sacramento Kings involving forward Eric Moreland, league sources told RealGM.
The talks are expected to be centered on larger trade scenarios and bigger names, but Moreland — a 6-foot-10 shot blocker — intrigues the Nuggets and Heat, sources said.
Pete D’Alessandro and Mike Malone served as Moreland’s GM and head coach, respectively, this past season.
Moreland had a stellar summer league for the Kings a year ago, averaging 3.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in 19.7 minutes per game. He appeared in three regular-season games and underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in January.
Moreland played his college basketball at Oregon State, going unselected in the 2014 NBA Draft before landing a multi-year contract with the Kings.
Do it Pat. Chalmers will love Sacremento.
