This one could work.
I don’t know why SAC does it? Barnes is a solid starter who defends and hits 3s. He makes around $18m a season. He’s more valuable than Brown so SAC, a team that wants to make the playoffs, trades for a worse player and they move down in the draft? Doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Brown was a 6th man on a contender just a year ago and had a key role on Indiana before he was traded here. He can play a big role on a competitive team. The Kings do it because of what I outlined. They have an expiring to go fishing at the deadline, if they want, whereas Barnes' deal at his age is more prohibitive.
