Traded to Sacramento Sabonis was traded to the Kings from the Pacers on Tuesday, along with Jeremy Lamb, Justin Holiday and a future second-round pick, in exchange for Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield an... Impact Sabonis' name has been tossed around in trade rumors for the last several months, and he now finds himself on the move after four-and-a-half years in Indiana. One of the best offensive big men in the league, Sabonis averaged 18.9 points, 12.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals through 47 games in a Pacers uniform this season. He goes from one non-contending team to another, so in terms of the basketball situation, not a whole lot should change for Sabonis over the final two months of the season. Assuming his workload is not limited for draft-pick-improvement purposes, Sabonis should function as the co-No. 1 option alongside De'Aaron Fox (ankle) in Sacramento.
