Harrison Barnes
The Sacramento Kings are the ultimate rebuilding team around the league — marking their 16th consecutive season without a playoff appearance, which is by far the longest drought in the league. At the NBA trade deadline, they moved some big names and that might continue this offseason.
Harrison Barnes has averaged over 16 points per game in each of his previous two years in Sacramento. This is the highest since he signed with the Dallas Mavericks back in 2016.

The Los Angeles Lakers have shown a willingness to bring in veterans in order to fill out the rotation. This trade would benefit both sides because the Kings would be able to unload another veteran piece while the Lakers would continue to add depth.

Harrison Barnes has shown an ability to get it done from all three levels. His offensive game has been resurrected a bit in Sacramento and that is what he would be able to continue in Los Angeles.
