Kessler Edwards is traded from BKN to SAC. He waived his trade veto, but still holds a trade veto for this season in the event that SAC was to try to trade him again.
BKN created a $1.6M TPE and opened 1 roster spot. They also dropped their tax bill by $7M from $76.4M to $69.4M. – 4:20 PM

Nets are finalizing trade to send forward Kessler Edwards and cash to the Kings, sources tell ESPN. The Nets save a total of $8M in salary and luxury tax and open up a roster spot. Edwards still has to approve trade because he has a “one-year Bird Rights restriction” in his deal. – 3:49 PM

Mike Vorkunov: Nets received the rights to David Michineau in the trade that sent Kessler Edwards and the infamous cash considerations to Sacramento. Michineau was the Pelicans 39th pick in the 2016 draft, then traded to the Clippers, then traded to Kings as part of a 4-team deal last season. -via Twitter @MikeVorkunov / February 7, 2023
Adrian Wojnarowski: Edwards is expected now to approve the trade, source tells ESPN. Kings intend to give Edwards an opportunity to play with their G League affiliate in Stockton, but with two days to go until trade deadline his future will remain fluid. -via Twitter @wojespn / February 7, 2023
James Ham: To make room on the roster for Edwards, the Kings will waive Deonte Burton, who was on a 10-day contract. Burton is expected to go back to the Stockton Kings. -via Twitter @James_HamNBA / February 7, 2023
