The most slutty one is that they are all sold~ Famous reporter: Before sending Harry away, the King and the Pacers talked about the Fox deal

June 8th According to an article by The Athletic reporter Sam Amick, in 2022, then Kings general manager Monte McNair and assistant general manager Wes Wilcox were trying to make the team a playoff competitor, and Fox's market value plummeted, making Halliburton the focus of team reconstruction.

Several sources in the league revealed that the Kings had explored a deal involving Fox that year. Fox had just signed a five-year, $163 million maximum salary contract, but the team did not find a suitable deal return.

Alliance sources said that the negotiations between the King and the Pacers were initially two-pronged, but soon turned from Fox to Halliburton because it was obviously the only viable trading route at the time. In turn, head coach Carlisle, who is back in the Pacers, has been looking for a point guard who can speed up the pace of the game and help the team return to the competition. So, in February 2022, the Pacers sent Sabonis Jr., Jeremy Lamb, Justin Holiday and a 2027 second round pick to the Kings in exchange for Halliburton, Hilder and Tristan Thompson.

Finally, in February this year, the Kings sent Fox to the Spurs in a three-party deal. After joining the Pacers, Halliburton became the team's backcourt core, and entered the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years. This year, Halliburton also won the lead in the G1 mid-range shot and scored the first place.
