Overnight passed, the league had two big deals, fans said that the Blazers sent away the second boss McCollum is really domineering, but the Kings are also willing to give up, sending Hield and Harry Burton, two new stars to the Pacers, of which the 21-year-old Harry Burton was selected as the best rookie last season, this season he is still stable, averaging 14.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game. In addition to Halliburton, Hield also performed well, averaging 14.4 points, 4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, and is also a player with the ability to start from the data. In addition, the Kings also joined T-Thompson, who although his status has declined a lot because of his personal hobbies, but as a champion interior lineman, he can also average 6.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, and is a qualified rotation player. So, what kind of team building resources did the king exchange for the three players with immediate combat strength?
Sabonis is an All-Star interior, averaging 18.9 points, 12 rebounds and five assists per game this season, and he's a big part of what made the Kings make up their minds to send Halliburton. There is a saying that the Kings are not short of guard players, Fox is the fastest player in the league, but the inside line is dragging its legs, in order to impact the playoffs, management is determined to strengthen the interior, Sabonis is obviously the best candidate, he has proven his ability in the Pacers. Lamb and Holliday are also good rotation players, with Lamb averaging 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist per game, and Holliday averaging 11 points, 2.8 rebounds and 18 assists per game. In addition, the Pacers have attached a 2027 first-round pick, which is a big win-win deal overall, with the Kings and Pacers each taking what they need. What's more, after the two sides of the transaction received 4 million and 6 million trade exceptions respectively, the team can continue to strengthen with these funds. It is worth mentioning that the pacers' total salary after the trade is less than $610,000 in luxury taxes, and they no longer have to pay luxury taxes.
With Sabonis Jr. leaving, Turner will have an opportunity to sit in the team's starting center position as the league's block king, and he has expressed great expectations for joining forces with Halliburton. The Pacers have announced a rebuild, with Hield and Halliburton both quality young players, which is exactly what the team needs. It is worth mentioning that Halliburton was very surprised by the transaction, and when the agent told him that he had been traded to the Walker, he first expressed a surprised expression, but he quickly accepted the reality, packed his bags and prepared to leave for Anna, India. It's also an opportunity for him, and playing for the Kings may not be able to make it to the playoffs for the next few seasons, but the Pacers at least have a greater chance, at least the competition in the East is much smaller than in the West, which is very helpful for his growth.
