Kings informing teams they plan to keep Harrison Barnes

In the aftermath of the Domantas Sabonis trade, the Sacramento Kings are informing teams that they intend on holding Harrison Barnes past the trade deadline, according to a report from NBA insider Marc Stein on Wednesday.

< 24 hours to go until the NBA trade deadline: Sacramento has been sending more frequent signals that it plans to keep Harrison Barnes rather than trade him, league sources say, as it chases a playoff play-in spot.

Barnes has been linked to just about every team in the league with playoff aspirations this season, but if the Kings view themselves as a playoff team after acquiring an All-Star in Sabonis, then a trade is unlikely.
