The Kings' trade for Domantas Sabonis will not 'move the needle' for the franchise
If you're the Kings and you're 22 and 41, trading Tyrese Haliburton for Domantas Sabonis is not going to move the needle one way or the other. It's not going to move the needle.
This take proved to be incorrect fairly quickly. In the very next season (2022-23), the Kings made the playoffs for the first time in 16 years, with Sabonis being an All-NBA player. The trade was the definition of moving the needle.
