The Kings sent the Hawks a first-round pick, Justin Holiday and Maurice Harkless.  

Overall, the deal appears as if it was good for both sides.   

Clearly, Huerter is the most valuable player in the trade, so the Kings could be a lot better next season adding him to De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. 

Last season, he averaged 12.4 points per game on 38.9% shooting from the three-point range.
