Indiana Pacers Receive: F Kevin Durant
Even in writing this hypothetical, our hearts break for Tyrese Haliburton.
Last season, he was dealt from the Sacramento Kings to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Domantas Sabonis. Many players would have been thrilled to escape the oft-struggling Kings. Apparently, Haliburton felt differently.
In fact, the move brought him to tears. Haliburton welcomed the challenge of returning the Kings to relevancy. Here at NBA Analysis, we like what that says about this young man.
