Kings finally building around De'Aaron Fox with Domantas Sabonis trade

The first major domino to fall on the week of the NBA’s trade deadline was Domantas Sabonis, who was swapped for Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield in a small-market blockbuster between the Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Kings.

Along with Sabonis, the Kings also bring in Jeremy Lamb and Justin Holiday. They also sent out Tristan Thompson in the deal. All per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Kings’ perspective

Sacramento is rightfully being dragged through the mud by NBA fans for giving up on Tyrese Haliburton. A young and promising player they drafted just 15 months ago who can handle the ball, play multiple positions and is widely praised as mature and smart on and off the court, way above his 21 years of age.
