With the flurry of commentary + community outpouring in response to the 2022 NBA Trade, it’s been admittedly tough to keep up with the Sacramento Kings.

Here’s the scoop: The Kings signed off as one of the most active teams in the final week of trading, completing “blockbuster trades” that even surprised King’s current leading scorer De’Aaron Fox, who stated, “Everyone was shocked for sure.”

Here’s what you need to know:

Who joined the Kings

Domantas Sabonis | Forward-center | Indiana Pacers
Justin Holiday | Forward-guard | Indiana Pacers
Jeremy Lamb | Guard-forward | Indiana Pacers
Donte DiVincenzo | Guard | Milwakuee Bucks
Josh Jackson | Forward-guard | Detroit Pistons
Trey Lyles | Forward-center | Detroit Pistons
Plus, the Kings scored a protected 2023 second-round pick from the Indiana Pacers.

Who left the Kings

Tyrese Haliburton | Guard | Traded to the Indiana Pacers
Buddy Hield | Guard-forward | Traded to the Indiana Pacers
Tristan Thompson | Center-forward | Traded to the Indiana Pacers
Marvin Bagley III | second round pick in the 2018 NBA Draft | Traded to the Detroit Pistons

Why this deal matters

This is the first time the King’s have acquired a multi-time NBA All Star.
Tyrese Haliburton was the 12th overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft + a local favorite who was believed to be “a cornerstone player for the franchise's future.”
