Trade & FA 2024-25:

[KillerLeft]

Sacramento actually had their choice of who to include in the trade, but the addition of Fox made their front office think that they wouldn't be competitive anytime soon and that Sabonis could've walked.

So Halliburton was the one included, and Indiana was fine with that.

Wow, I don’t remember hearing anything like that, and knowing how Carlisle coveted Halliburton in the draft I find it hard to believe. 

But, if I take your word for it, that makes me think even less of the decision to move Halliburton. That makes it like one of the dumbest trades ever, imo. 

Halliburton is an actual great player. Sabonis is good, but you don’t give up a great player just to get him. I am in literal disbelief that there is an opposition to this opinion.
