Some Sacramento Kings fans absolutely hate this trade their team just made with the Indiana Pacers by giving up on Tyrese Haliburton in exchange for Domantas Sabonis in a package deal.
While Indiana Pacers fans are loving the fact their awful basketball team just traded for Tyrese Haliburton, the same thing can’t be said for Sacramento Kings fans, who are absolutely furious their terrible franchise dealt for Domantas Sabonis.
For a team that has not made the NBA playoffs since the second Bush Administration, it is hard to believe one fanbase has been subjected to this much suffering. They had a new shiny cool toy in Haliburton and they gave up on him faster than you can say Sauce Castillo. Sabonis is a fine player, but Haliburton was the bee’s knees, the cat’s pajamas. Oh, Kings fans are so mad right now…
Kings Reddit is a certifiable disaster zone filled with one rage-filled expletive after another.
You know who hates this Indiana Pacers trade? Sacramento Kings fans!
As if the Kings front office had not put their fanbase through enjoy heartache, pain and agonizing torture, what a way and day to crush their spirits! The Pacers never rebuild, but this year was different. They were dead-set on getting rid of Sabonis and the like for the sake of ping-pong balls. The Kings have done been there before, only this time they did not draft Marvin Bagley at No. 2…
So when Haliburton goes on to become the greatest Pacer of all time, or the best since Rik Smits, Kings fans will sit back and try to enjoy the slow-paced, half-court game Sabonis flourishes in. Though the Kings could might maybe even think about turning this puppy around, their front office just sent a golden ticket out of the Golden 1 Center to Indianapolis for the second-best Sabonis!
Ultimately, no Reddit message board is safe from the utter absurdity of yet another Kings trade.
