Falling behind 28-2 to the Celtics out of the gate, the Nets go on to drop their 9th straight game tonight.
Brooklyn (29-25) is now the 8th seed in the East. Depending on how games for MIN and DEN go tonight, Brooklyn’s draft pick could be tied for #16/#17. – 9:39 PM

There’s the obvious commitment to De’Aaron Fox, but it goes a layer deeper.
McNair not only gave Fox max money, he traded away Haliburton, his first ever draft pick/move as a GM, to get Fox a star teammate that he’s never had.
Fox has to recognize and repay the significance. – 8:43 PM

One of the areas I’m most concerned after this Kings trade is half court offense.
Sabonis should ease things, but Haliburton ran the half court way better than Fox ever has in his career.
Fox and Sabonis need to figure it out quick if the Kings want any chance at the playoffs. – 7:48 PM

The Sabonis acquisition naturally brings Richaun Holmes’ future up.
Personally, big Holmes fan — but as a Wolves fit you have to consider:
– Would not be able to play next to Vando (spacing)
– Would cut into Vando/KAT minutes together
– What would SAC want other than McDaniels? pic.twitter.com/gQNnXkTgx1 – 5:22 PM

There’s bona fide sense of shock around the league that Tyrese Haliburton was traded. Spoke w/3 executives, 4 coaches and a scout – none of whom realized Haliburton was even on the block. Just an incredible get for the #Pacers: Tyrese is a building block type of player/person. – 5:20 PM

Analysis of today’s Pacers/Kings deal with @AnilGognaNBA of @NoTrade_Clause
IND – gets a dynamic young playmaker with star potential (on a rookie scale contract) in Haliburton
SAC – adds a 2-time all star in Sabonis who’s an efficient scorer, elite rebounder and skilled passer pic.twitter.com/7qBDm1gkQO – 5:08 PM

The kings were so pissed that Zeke Cross was 23 years old that they traded Tyrese Haliburton – 5:07 PM

Whoa, I totally missed that the SAC deal also included Hield.
I now believe this to be the Kings front office: pic.twitter.com/68gY72zj1b – 5:04 PM

I’d consider trading Richaun Holmes now if I were the Kings.
1) You avoid fit issues with Holmes and Sabonis.
2) You can slide Harrison Barnes to his more natural position at power forward.
3) There are deals to be had with Toronto or Charlotte. – 4:53 PM

I feel really bad for Sabonis.
There’s no reason to trust Sac until they prove that they’re a competent franchise and they just handed over Haliburton without creating any sort of bidding war…so not a great first step. – 4:49 PM

Tyrese Haliburton averages 1.2 points per pick-and-roll when the defense switches screens.
That’s first in the NBA, minimum 130 direct chances, per @SecondSpectrum.
Top 5:
1. Tyrese Haliburton
2. Darius Garland
3. Steph Curry
4. LaMelo Ball
5. Donovan Mitchell
Congrats Pacers! pic.twitter.com/amDgJAf01X – 4:46 PM

Sources: At least 4 teams – inc #Knicks, #Pacers, #Sixers and #Jazz – have reached out to the #Kings about De’Aaron Fox. Sac believes Fox is a valuable asset and future perennial All-Star. After trading Tyrese Haliburton, I’m told a deal involving Swipa is “highly unlikely.” – 4:42 PM

Source: The Sixers are in a game of cat and mouse with the Nets. Morey would like to get a deal done with BK before Thursday. He’s passed on deals with the Kings, Pacers, and Blazers. Safe to say if they can’t get it done with BK, Ben will be a Sixer for the rest of the season. – 4:37 PM

Brad Stevens has made a push for #TWolves’ wing Malik Beasley because he wants another defensive weapon on the perimeter. Beasley’s just 25 years old + a career 38% 3-point shooter. With Jayson Tatum/Jaylen Brown’s shotmaking, Beasley would get tons of open looks w/the #Celtics. – 4:29 PM

Domantas Sabonis will be the first All-Star to suit up for the Kings since Zach Randolph in 2018. The last King to make the All-Star Game was DeMarcus Cousins in 2017. – 4:20 PM
