Surprised Kings would give up Halliburton.

Really trying to f*** over their fans some more...

 

[Gecklund]

Fox-Sabonis is interesting but I don’t know if it’ll be successful.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

I think its time for that one KIngs fan on here to give up on that franchise.

 

[John Price]

Being a Kings fan really is a grind. I feel very sorry for all of them today.

Being a kings' fan is truly, truly the toughest gig in sports. I challenge anyone.

What's with all the Sabonis hate? Sure, sucks to lose Haliburton but you have to give to get. The other 4 seem alright....I actually like this trade for both teams.

it doesn't move the needle at all for them. fox-sabonis isn't a bad core but unless they go out and bring in more talent, that's a 10th seed at best

meanwhile, haliburton is younger, cheaper, and under team control for longer. not to mention he's already very good. makes no sense to trade him for a guy who is probably gone in two years

Has nothing to do with Sabonis. Has everything to do with Halliburton being really good and the Kings still aren’t good enough to do much in the playoffs if they make it.

Detroit Lions...

 

[punk_o_holic]

OK I don't know much about basketball but I'm sad about Haliburton getting traded.

Detroit Lions...

Nah. Lions made the playoffs three times with Stafford, Megatron, and suh not too long ago. Kings haven't made the playoffs since 2006 and have an owner who seriously proposed the team play 5v4 and have a permanent cherry picker. This is the worst franchise in sports.

 

[GKJ]

What is the point of the Sacramento Kings?

What is the point of the Sacramento Kings?

For Sacramento to have something to watch.

I’m a Jags fan. The only difference being the Jags make the playoffs once a decade.

Yeah, I don’t get it.

I’d much rather have kept Halliburton than trade him, but Sabonis is an elite scoring center. Add the fact this team wasn’t working as it was set up. Hopefully this isn’t their last move. That said, looks like Fox is staying.

People complaining aren't complaining about Sabonis. He's a quality player.

It's what the Kings give up for him and who they're getting in addition to Sabonis that's the issue.

Hield and Thompson together probably don’t have much value. Halliburton and Fox made each other redundant. This was the type of move that had to happen.

Sabonis only has two years left on his deal. Do you think he is going to stick around this dumpster fire?

 

[Know Your Enemy]

I cannot f***ing believe they traded Haliburton

 

[Gecklund]

It gets better for SAC. Apparently Holiday is unvaccinated so he’s unable to play in Sac.
