The Sacramento Kings have agreed on a sign-and-trade that will land DeMar DeRozan on a three-year deal, send Harrison Barnes to the San Antonio Spurs and Chris Duarte, two second-round picks and cash to the Chicago Bulls.

Sucks they didn't get any extra draft capital but Barnes will have trade value tbh.

[Uriel]

Now it makes sense.

[timvp]

Yep, that's what I thought. Good stuff.

You want two vets that will help the youngsters grow, you can't do much better than CP3 and Barnes

[Degoat]

Wtf is up with them in those swaps!!!

[LeBowen]

Wanted him for some time now.

NBA champion, high character guy, the best wing on the roster right away. Says more about our wings, but whatever.
His shot is still there, idk if defense is, he was a good defender in his prime.
Contract isn't too bad and he just turned 32, not that old.

CP3/Devin/Castle/Barnes/Wemby lineup has 4 good shooters, 4 creators and hopefully 5 positive defenders.

[kjhip1]

Trying to ensure they have good picks throughout Wemby’s career?

[Mr. Body]

Chris Paul + Harrison Barnes is excellent stuff.

[Dejounte]

Playoffs baby

[Leetonidas]

Barnes for free, I'll take it

[LeBowen]

Wait, we got an unprotected swap? Kings are actually idiots.

[TimmehC]

Huge W. Not only adds shooting talent but adds to the war chest as well.

[BatManu20]

Merge threads timvp. Good tho. Nice pickup for the Spurs tbh.

[CGD]

Excellent trade, wow.

[SpursBills]

Decent haul if they're trying to build slow

Basically traded a 2nd rounder for an unprotected swap from a dysfunctional franchise that conveys right when Wemby's in the middle of his prime
Barnes is useless and borderline unplayable a lot of nights but is good for a young locker room

[kjhip1]

Corrected as a 2031 pick swap

[NASpurs]

At least we have more depth this year or someone is gone (KJ).

If Barnes is useless, then what are Jeremy, Keldon and Champagnie?

[Mugen]

Ill take a vet that can shoot the 3 at this point tbh.

Feels like there's another trade out there this summer so tbd. But hopefully they can package the expirings of Barnes/Collins next summer for an impact player.

[NASpurs]

Pickswap in 2032

[Spurs Brazil]

[SpursFan86]

Probably preferred Huerter over Barnes, but Barnes obviously is more of a veteran presence + can fill in at PF where we really don’t have much depth.

Also, unprotected 2032 pick swap is actually pretty damn solid. Was expecting a SRP or two but unprotected swap that far out is better. We now are poised to have some potentially very nice picks all throughout Wemby’s prime. Just have to get some talent around him before then so he sticks around

[SpursBills]

If Barnes is useless, then what are Jeremy, Keldon and Champagnie?

Same, useless and borderline unplayable a lot of nights. We'll just have to hope that on any given night, somebody's going to be useful and gets played

[Spurs Brazil]

Champagnie gone?
