Kings trade Haliburton, Hield, Kardashian to Indy for Sabonis + more

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Some really bad takes in here, many of them led by @Gil Scott-Heroin

Had guys saying “Haliburton is better than Anthony Edwards”

“Pacers about to rebuild and make the playoffs before the Kings make the play-in”

Light The Beam and Turn the f***ing jets on

Kings really messed up

 

[Sauce Dab]

People still thinking Haliburton is an All-Star caliber player he’s a shorter version of Kevin Martin

Great deal for the Kings getting a true partner for Fox

 

[Tres Leches]

Haliburton has become extremely overrated on here

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

@The poster should've checked himself once he saw he was on the same side as jinxing ass @Squirrel The Wrong Man.

This is like the Warriors taking Wiseman type of bad. Such a franchise back breaking trade.

I knew this was going to happen.
Haliburton is going to get vastly overrated because he's the best player on this Pacers team. The Pacers play in weak Eastern conference, while the Kings play in a loaded Western conference.
Haliburton has played slightly better than Sabonis since the trade, slightly.
Also, the key to postseason success in the NBA now is depth and health. The Pacers (and OKC) have deep playoff rosters and have been able to get through the playoffs relatively healthy.

Yeah nikkas can't say this a win win no more. Sabumass a elite regular season big not many better but that cac stank in games that matter in playoffs, playin, elimination. He can't do nothin for ya. Looney made em look like Dario Saric for a whole series shyt was nasty and he was All NBA lol

Haliburton was playing elite before his injury last year. He hasn't played to quite that level since. He's been very good at points but there's a reason why his peers voted him the most overrated player in the league this year.

He was voted the most overrated because he rubs folks the wrong way. It's as simple as that. There's something about his demeanor/personality/face that is unlikeable. It's why he receives a ton of unwarranted hate from the public too, not really due to his play, but how he's perceived.

He's levels above Sabonis as a player, that it's not even remotely an argument.

Sabonis is the type who only manages to fool those who run to the box score and make up a narrative from his stats.

I disagree. I watch a lot of Pacers games and his play fell off significantly after his injury last year, to the point many of us wondered if he was still injured.
The Pacers are having a nice playoff run, but Tyrese averaged 18 points and 9 assists this year. And its not just stats, he isn't playing a well as he was before his injury.

Also want to point out that the Pacers and the Kings basically had the same record last year (1 win difference). And the year before that the Kings won 48 games and the Pacers only won 35.

Going from having two young studs under 25 to rebuilding in the matter of 3 years is just about as on brand for the kings organization as it gets
