According to multiple sources, the Sacramento Kings have sent Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Harrison Barnes. The trade, which was executed in the middle of both a Kings and Mavericks game, comes on the heels of another transaction that sent Iman Shumpert to the Houston Rockets in a three-team deal in which the Kings received guard Alec Burks from the Cleveland Cavaliers and a future second round pick from the Houston Rockets.

Barnes is an experienced player with championship experience who will immediately fill the gaping void at small forward. The 6’8” wing is averaging 17.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game and can even play the 4-spot in small-ball situations. Harrison will also add another shooter to spread the floor amidst De’Aaron Fox’s charges at the rim, as he makes 39% of his 6.4 three-point attempts.

The trade did cost the Kings a few assets, however. Vlade Divac spent almost the entirety of his remaining cap space this year, absorbing $10.5 million in salary, along with the large expiring contract of Zach Randolph, but this sort of transaction is exactly the reason the front office hoarded their extra room so carefully. Barnes also holds a player option of just over $25 million in July, and an opt-in on his part will shrink Sacramento’s cap space from over $58 million to $33 million this summer. Justin Jackson was the most notable name sent the Mavericks way, and while the young forward had enjoyed a recent uptick in production, the current contributions of Barnes far outweigh Jackson’s possible ceiling.

The Kings received some wonderful news when the Clippers traded away their best player on Wednesday morning, and they continued their good luck through two impressive transactions of their own. Less than a day remains before the NBA trade deadline expires, and we’ll keep you posted on any other rumors or transactions.
