Boston Celtics Receive: Harrison Barnes

Sacramento Kings Receive: Aaron Nesmith, 2021 2nd Round Pick

When looking at this deal, it is not one that would cause a stir or be a big splash around the NBA. It is one that would benefit both sides and that is what franchises look for.

Not every trade or signing can be a blockbuster involving big-name players. Sometimes, it’s about making the right reconfigurations to a team’s supporting cast, especially when it’s a contender like the Boston Celtics who already have star players.

Instead, this trade involves a former big name. Harrison Barnes has had many strong seasons in the NBA and could look to resurrect his career in Boston. In return, the Sacramento Kings would land Daniel Theis and some second-round NBA Draft capital.

Let’s take a closer look at each side and see how this deal would benefit them moving forward.
