Kings Never Offered Tyrese Haliburton To Sixers For Ben Simmons

Jul 24, 2023 1:59 PM

The Sacramento Kings never offered Tyrese Haliburton as part of a package to the Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons, sources told Marc Stein.

The Kings were rumored to be interested in trading for Simmons during the 21-22 season and eventually traded Haliburton for Domantas Sabonis.

The Kings turned into a playoff team last season with Sabonis having an All-NBA season, while Haliburton emerged as an All-Star with the Indiana Pacers and would have likely been a better long-term fit for the Sixers than James Harden. 

Haliburton signed a five-year designated max extension with the Pacers that could be worth up to $260 million.

Pacers Emerge As Serious Contender To Acquire Pascal Siakam From Raptors

Jul 10, 2023 3:42 PM

The Indiana Pacers have emerged as a legitimate trade partner with the Toronto Raptors for Pascal Siakam, sources tell Marc Stein of Substack.

Siakam is entering the final season of his contract and reports of his potential availability have increased. 

The Atlanta Hawks have also logged interest in Siakam, while other teams could also emerge.

Siakam has signaled a preference to remain with the Raptors, but the departure of Fred VanVleet is believed to have led the team to prefer giving more runway to Scottie Barnes and OG Anunoby. 

"The Raptors are indeed far more prepared to surrender Siakam than initially realized," writes Stein.
