[Lin Zhijie/Comprehensive report]The NBA trade deadline is approaching. There are many deals happening today. For example, the Indiana Pacers completed a deal with the Sacramento Kings. The Pacers sent out players led by Domantis Sabonis in exchange for scorer Buddy Hield and others. However, the American media seems to think that the Pacers benefited from this deal, and I don’t understand why the king nodded and agreed.
According to “ESPN”, the Yo-yo Ma gave away Shabonis, Jeremy Lamb, Justin Holiday and a second-round pick in 2027 in this deal, in exchange for three players, Hilde, Tyrese Haliburton and Tristan Thompson.
The report pointed out that the Kings paid a great price in this deal because they packaged Halliburton and sent it away; Halliburton entered the draft in 2020 and was selected by the Kings with the 12th pick in the first round. It has always been considered the cornerstone of the team. He played in 51 games this season and posted 14.3 points, 7.4 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals, but in the end he was packaged and sent away. This operation made the outside world confused.
In addition, Yo-Yo Ma also acquired scorer Hilde. Although his overall shooting percentage declined this season, he was still able to contribute 14.4 points, 4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists. He accumulated 182 three-pointers during the season, second only to Stephen Curry and Fred VanVleet.
As for the ace Shabonis that the Kings got in this deal, he signed a four-year,美元77 million contract with Youma in 2019. The contract will expire in the 2020-23 season. He can contribute 18.9 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 5 assists this season. Transcript.
