Markelle Fultz has agreed to sign with the Sacramento Kings. Fultz has not played this season after coming off his contract with the Orlando Magic.
The Kings have been searching for a point guard following their trade of De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs.

Hinkie didn’t draft Fultz you moron. The fake Twitter guy traded the farm for Fultz. Hinkie said in interviews he would’ve kept the picks and selected Tatum.

Non of the players you mentioned are PG's... so yes, they need depth at that position. "Needing the ball" doesn't make you a PG, it means you need someone to get you the ball.

Haliburton (18/4/9) became Sabonis (20/14/6)... that's as fair a deal as you can find in the NBA, and it defied the old mantra of never trading a small for a big. I think SAC came out on top. It's tough because I love both of these players.
Fox (25/5/6) became LaVine (24/5/4 on greater efficiency) along with two 1sts and four 2nds... both players are overpaid and often injured, but LaVine is on the back half of his deal and Fox hasn't signed his next one yet. Hopefully SAC plans to flip LaVine in the summer, but either way they came out ahead. It's tough because I don't really care for either of these players.

Squandered was probably not the best term because as you pointed out, Haliburton became Sabonis and he is a damn good player. I wouldn't have said this last season but now, I agree...I think Sac probably came out on top of that deal. I hated seeing Domas get dealt as he was my favorite player but it was one of those trades that worked both ways. Id take Fox over Lavine any day regardless of efficiency but when one adds 2 FRPs and 4 2nds...pretty decent haul if either of those FRPs are in the lotto or even mid round.
