The Pacers did it. They actually did it. It was hard to imagine a world where they actually traded Domantast Sabonis, but they did.
Sabonis is a Sacramento King now. He goes into a situation where, there’s lots of uncertainty, but he’ll be treated like the star he believes he is — something he just never truly found in Indiana.
And the centerpiece the Pacers get back is Tyrese Haliburton who has become the third best player in the 2020 NBA draft behind Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball. He’s shown tons of potential as a lead guard and now he’ll get to run his own show in Indiana instead of playing in the shadow of De’Aaron Fox.
