Harrison Barnes has been mentioned in trade rumors for more than a year and there is a "rising belief around the league" that the Sacramento Kings will pull the trigger on a deal by the deadline in February.
Barnes signed a four-year, $85 million deal with the Kings in 2019 as a free agent.
Barnes remains one of the league's better three-and-D small forwards with the ability to also play small ball four.
The Kings are also expected to trade Buddy Hield.
