Sacramento is expected to aggressively pursue a deal to offload Harrison Barnes, per sources. Barnes is owed $18 million next season, the final year of his deal.

With Sacramento struggling, the Kings appear to be more open than ever to trade Barnes, who is averaging 17 points and shooting 40% from three this season.
