The Houston Rockets begin a 4-game road trip tonight, with the first two games both coming against the upstart Sacramento Kings.
The Kings elicited groans around the league when they traded young star Tyrese Haliburton and sharpshooter Buddy Hield to the Indiana Pacers for Domantas Sabonis. Seriously, people thought Sacramento was crazy. And with the well-deserved Kangz moniker, it was hard not to foresee Haliburton turning into a super-duper star and Sabonis being so plagued with injuries that he and De’Aaron Fox would never get a chance to play together.
