I do.................................... lol It was a smart decision at the time. He basically was the star of the Kings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a nice young player, but not a star imo...Haliburton making any kind of statement about what team he would prefer is stupid, because if you are actually that talented, you end up being a centerpiece. Instead he’s now trade fodder... Edited February 8, 2022 by terrell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been over the hill on his upside but Sacramento had to choose between him and Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the word Star and Superstar gets thrown around way too much for my liking these days.. lol And Why did they have to choose? He has another year on his rookie contract.. So now they have to choose between Fox and Mitchell? lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox less than Hali but his effectiveness is with the rock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleachkit Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I'd trade JC for Halli. Did you see Halli's 17 assist game recently? His shooting efficiency plus smarts on defense. He's only 21 mind you. I'd bet on a Trae/Halli back court all day every day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud2nique Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Per my source : Kings looking to pair Dame with Sabonis; dangling Fox and Holmes and a pick. Kings come out with Lillard and Sabonis and they are starting something nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got one of those already A point guard that can flat out shoot and has the size to guard 2's. Travis is a believer in multiple ball handlers. They would figure it out.

He's too good at the PG spot to just give him spot minutes at his best position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay, these things mostly have to do with money, based on advice from their agents. They want a situation where they can shine so they get the big second contract. It's all about getting the big second contract. Halli is an analytics darling, he will get paid. We clearly would be trading away Bogi to clear minutes for Halli in the event of a trade. There's no reason he wouldn't flourish here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
