The Sacramento Kings have ended the discussion of how to handle their uneven roster and overlapping back court. They believe they found their answer to the question over whether to build around De’Aaron Fox or Tyrese Haliburton.
And like so many other moves that have led to the longest playoff drought in the NBA, this one will be under the microscope for a long, long time.
The Kings on Tuesday agreed to a trade package centered around sending Haliburton to the Indiana Pacers for big man Domantas Sabonis, a league source confirmed to the Bee’s Jason Anderson. Sacramento included perimeter shooter Buddy Hield and reserve big man Tristan Thompson in the deal. The Pacers are sending back swing men Jeremy Lamb, Justin Holiday and a 2027 second-round pick.
