🚨 Nathaniel Brown to FC Bayern, here we go! Deal in place with Eintracht Frankfurt for the left back. 🔴⚪️
Never in doubt as Brown agreed terms weeks ago and only wanted Bayern move.
Fee will be €55m agreed with Markus Krösche.
Five year deal ready for Brown at Bayern, as @Plettigoal reports.
Detroit raised him and tonight Sacramento made it official.
Congratulations to Darius Acuff Jr. on being drafted. The work was never in question and soon the world will see.
Acuff 1 coming soon.

GM Zero’s Notes:
Darius Acuff Jr. arguably had the best freshman guard season of all time; better than Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard, and Jalen Brunson.
His defence is atrocious, but you simply have to ignore it as it’s the easiest skill to improve upon.
Offensively, he just gets it done by any means necessary.
Acuff uses pace really well as the stop and pop is available for him at any point during his drives. He also does a great job of getting defenders behind him using the pick and roll, and then keeping them on his back as he makes his move.
His off ball ability is very underrated, and needs to be a focal point for his development; at 44% from three Acuff can be an elite catch and shoot player.
His playmaking is incredible, posting a 3:1 assist to turnover ratio.
Acuff’s slashing can use some work, but NBA spacing should also give him a lot more room to navigate and find good looks versus NCAA spacing.
If a team wanted him more than Darryn Peterson, Caleb Wilson, and Cam Boozer, I wouldn’t blame them at all.
Darius Acuff Jr. Is legit.
Team Fit: B+
I’m not a fan of the Sacramento Kings franchise as they’ve consistently made terrible decisions when it comes to roster construction and player development.
But the Kings and Darius Acuff have shown significant mutual interest and going to a franchise that believes in you tends to work out very well.
The Kings should definitely trade Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Domantas Sabonis though.
