Kings trade Tyrese and Buddy for Sabonis and Holiday and Lamb

[The_Jamal]

What the hell man.

Like... I get it. This is essentially Hali for Sabonis+Holiday. Hield contract was a massive negative asset and TT wasn't getting you anything. But... jesus. How do you trade Hali with the growth he's had this year? On his rookie scale deal for 2 more seasons?

 

[SLAB]

I’m more upset than when they traded DeMarcus. This is such a gut punch.

Kings currently at
Holmes
Sabonis
Barnes
Fox
Mitchell

as the starting 5

great spacing

 

[Tetsujin]

Hmm. Wonder if we swing a Grant trade now. Marvin+ Lamb’s expiring and the pick this year for Grant?

 

[KainLear]

Oh no...

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I just don't see how you let the young player on the affordable deal go. This is just how we get permatrapped in being a dogsht franchise.

Thank god for Tommy Lloyd and the Arizona Wildcats. If I wind up snowbirding in 5 years Tuscon is on my short list and I could survive this. Kings still gonna suck.

This is the worst I have felt in a long time as a Kings fan.

Edit:

Okay, since Doncic draft.

Haliburton man. Why?

 

[joemama]

WHAAAAT

 

[Hoovtrain]

Well at least Fox’s game is going age well

 

[chief bromden]

Man, really sad to see Tyrese traded

 

[Tetsujin]

Look, Kings fans were begging for Monte to pick a course of action and make a deal and holy mother of god did he.

I don’t think he’s done yet either.

 

[Hoovtrain]

I'm tempted to just dump an f-bomb here and let the swear filter do as it may.

I hate everything about this.

****

 

[coolhandluke]

Trading the only source of hope among Kings fans for middling talent is just plain idiotic.

 

[sactowndog]

Well in an era where spreading the floor matters and Sabonis plays in the low post you just traded away your two shooters so the lane becomes more clogged.

I think your starting 5 has to be
Sabonis
Barnes
Holiday
Mitchell
Fox

 

[ikon_zero]

We deserve to be bad.

Was wondering the same thing. Mitchell could be on the table too. Hard to see his fit long term if we’re committing to Fox, and clearly Monte isn’t afraid to move “his guys.”

Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
The Pacers are including a 2027 second-round pick in the deal to the Kings, sources tell ESPN.

Oh, it's okay now

Ohhh...
Snap.

we just got older and F’d up the next 5 years. Scouts around the league are laughing at Monte’s understanding of fit

 

[Jones2006]

You need shooters around Sabonis, and you need a shooter / playmaker next to Mitchell too … Given this very obvious information, Sacramento decides to trade Halliburton & keep Fox.

Dumbfounded.

Legit send the first. Let everything burn.

 

[Groovygreg]

The Kings get two Jeremy Lambs apparently.

[Groovygreg]

DUMB move to trade Tyrese. Utter folly.

Matt Williams @StatsWilliams
Tyrese Haliburton ranks in the top-6 in both total assists and steals this season. He is 1 of 3 players to rank in the top-6 in both categories, along with Chris Paul and Dejounte Murray.

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Domantas Sabonis is a damn good player, but man, you don’t trade Tyrese Haliburton for him. Wow. That’s absolutely insane.

The last tweet just about sums up the overall reaction.
Kangz forever.

 

[Jones2006]

How is Sabonis a proven star? What am I missing? He’s a throwback skilled big that has value but it’s hard to form a team around his skill set. There’s a reason he hasn’t uplifted the Pacers anywhere since he’s been the focal point.

Boycott the Kings.
