Kings' De'Andre Hunter trade was more about a different player

While fans were upset that the Sacramento Kings didn't make bigger moves at the trade deadline, they did manage to bring in De'Andre Hunter. That move was more important than Hunter, though, as it opened up roster space to do what the Kings really wanted to do by signing Dylan Cardwell.

Fans, NBA front offices, and pundits were all expecting massive trades from the Kings at the deadline in early February. To be fair, they all knew the Kings needed to make huge moves with players like Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine to begin the rebuild process in earnest.
