National Basketball Association trade deadline: Mavericks deal Harrison Barnes to Kings

"But I just want this narrative to start to get REAL/CHANGE and not when a player wants to be traded or leaves a Franchise that he's a selfish/ungrateful player but when they trade you, release, waive, cut etc etc it's best for them!"

Now in his 17th National Basketball Association season, Randolph has amassed career averages of 16.6 points (.471 FG%,.273 3pt%,.764 FT%), 9.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 31.0 minutes per game in 1,116 contests (882 starts) with the Portland Trail Blazers (2001-02 - 2006-07), New York Knicks (2007-08 - 2008-09), L.A. Clippers (part of 2008-09), Memphis Grizzlies (2009-10 - 2016-17) and Sacramento Kings (2017-18 - 2018-19).

The move must have come together quickly, because Barnes was on the court playing for the Mavericks against the Charlotte Hornets when the deal broke.

Barnes' agent, Jeff Schwartz, told ESPN's Paul Pierce that he and the Mavericks were working on a trade and Barnes knew that something was in the works with Sacramento. "I got word of it during the game and so that is why he didn't play down the stretch, obviously".

LeBron James isn't afraid to speak his mind, but there are many criticizing the superstar for the opinion he shared on his latest Instagram post'.

"Just call a spade a spade!" A great influence on the team, also in this community.

"I am going to miss him an very bad lot", Carlisle said.

Additionally, NBA insider Marc Stein reports that Barnes new going into the game that there was a chance he'd be traded, but elected to play anyway.

Barnes could accept that player option and return to the Kings next season for $25 million. Sacramento entered Wednesday a game out of the final playoff spot in the West.

After the deals, Sacramento won't have a player on its roster over the age of 30.

For the Mavericks, the move was about freeing up cap space. The Marion, Indiana native went on to earn All-NBA Third Team honors in 2010-11 after posting at least 20 points per game in three consecutive seasons.
