Busy Kings make a second trade, and fill a big need with a hot shooting hand

The Kings were busy on and off the court Wednesday.

A few hours after the team traded Iman Shumpert to the Houston Rockets in a deal that will bring Alec Burks from the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Kings dealt Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph to the Dallas Mavericks for Harrison Barnes.

The move — first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic — gives Sacramento some size at small forward. In Barnes, the Kings get a 6-foot-8, seventh-year player who is averaging 17.8 points and shooting 39 percent from 3-point range in 48 games this season.
