Barnes making news in Boston.....
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nb...eltics-focused-harrison-barnes-top-target?amp
the trade that I think makes sense for both sides is a 3 player trade.
Kings send out: Barnes, Bjelica and Whiteside
Kings receive: Thompson, Nesmith, G Williams and a lottery protected 1st.
why for Sac: Sac gets younger and gets two young rotation players in Williams and Nesmith both of whom can play the wing where the Kings have limited depth. They also get a 1st and Thompson as a back up rim running center. Like the Cousins trade they get a little worse this year in hopes of getting a top 5 pick.
why for Boston: Boston gets a win now piece in Barnes that slides into their starting 4 spot. Bjelica adds shooting off the bench and Whiteside gives them a back-up center. They also stay out of the luxury tax with this deal
