Kings trade Tyrese and Buddy for Sabonis and Holiday and Lamb
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
At least we still have an unprotected 2022 FRP to trade for Jerami Grant . . .
Honestly, I'm not sure what's next. I continue to like a Holmes for PJ Washington and change deal.
Barnes and Bagley should still be dealt.
But right now the only definite pieces are Fox and Sabonis. Who are you going to put around them Monte?
I said I'd wait until the trade deadline passes until I decide whether or not to give up on this franchise completely, but seeing Hali in the photoshopped Pacer uniform is making it very hard not to check out right now.

How can you pretend to know that? The dude is 21 years old. And far from a finished product.
Furthermore, Kevin Martin is an AWFUL comparison. A one-dimensional scorer.
Haliburton is far superior playmaker and all-around player and, again, is only 21.
Actually, if Kevin Martin played today he'd be more valuable than he was a dozen years ago. But regardless he was nowhere close to the all-around basketball talent Tyrese has shown to be thus far.
The KINGS have a ton of issues and are devoid of talent -- but Tyrese Haliburton wasn't one of those problems.

OK. I get it. We had too many PGs and needed an upgrade at center. Would have preferred trading Fox, but getting rid of Buddy's contract is a plus. I am going to really miss Tyrese. Will be interesting to see how he can fit in with Duarte. I will give it some time to see if there are any more trades and how these players fit together. Unfortunately you have to give up talent to get talent. Monte has shown he can draft good players. Hope he can keep it up.
Being honest part of the reason I was for keeping Haliburton and trading Fox was because I thought Fox could net us a higher tier talent without tying all our money to 2-3 players. I do think that Indy gave up the best player which usually means we win, I just don't know that we have the ability to make enough moves to complete the roster. We still have 3 starting quality players on our roster at best.
