With the March 25 trade deadline approaching, the Celtics are reportedly looking to add more talent to their roster as they prepare for another playoff run. According to <a href="https://theathletic.com/2383620/2021/02/12/nba-trade-news-rumors-nuggets-hawks-kings/?source=emp_shared_article">Sam Amick of The Athletic</a>, one potential target for Boston is Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes.</p><p>The Celtics <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celtics-news-bostons-plan-for-28-5-million-gordon-hayward-trade-exception-revealed/" rel="noopener">still have a $28.5 million trade exception</a> after Gordon Hayward left the team in the offseason in a sign-and-trade with the Charlotte Hornets, and they could use this to acquire Barnes. The 28-year old is having an impressive season for the Kings, averaging 16.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists while shooting 49.1% from the field and 41.0% from beyond the arc in 24 games.</p><p>The former NBA champion ranks second on the Kings in scoring behind guard De’Aaron Fox, third in rebounds, and third in assists. In addition, the four-year, $85 million extension that Barnes signed with Sacramento in 2019 also declines each season, making it a deal that the Celtics could possibly consider.</p><p>Harrison Barnes would certainly be a nice addition for Boston in the fight for the East, but Amick added that there is the impression that the Kings are not interested in moving the former North Carolina Tar Heel at the trade deadline. With a 12-12 record, the Kings are also in contention for the playoffs in the Western Conference, as they are in 10th place and just two games behind the eighth spot.</p><p>There’s a lot that can still happen between now and the trade deadline next month, but for now, there appears to be an obstacle in the way of the Celtics acquiring one of their targets to help the team for their playoff run.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They love Bogdan Bogdanovic, a restricted free agent with the Sacramento Kings who would require a sign-and-trade; the Bucks have kicked around scenarios in which they also absorb Harrison Barnes, sources have told ESPN. It is unclear if they have engaged the Kings in real discussions; it’s early. (Acquiring any player in a sign-and-trade would trigger the hard cap.)</blockquote><p>Bogdanovic is a playmaker on the wing who can act as a secondary ball-handler and create off the dribble. He can also fill it up from beyond the arc, with a 37.4 three-point shooting percentage for his career.</p><p>The 28-year-old could be the kind of floor-spacer and playmaker Milwaukee needs in the rotation. However, the Kings had entered the offseason with the belief they would match offer sheets for Bogdanovic.</p><p>That could change if the Bucks are open to absorbing Barnes’ remaining three years and over $60 million remaining on his contract.</p><p>The contract looks gross, but Barnes is another guy who can shoot it and rebound a little bit. Perhaps Milwaukee’s strong defense would also serve to benefit him on that end of the floor.</p><p>Marc Lasry indicated the Bucks would be willing to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rumor-milwaukees-current-confidence-level-in-giannis-antetokounmpo-signing-supermax/">spend into the luxury tax</a> in order to build a winner and take the next step. Perhaps this is the move that achieves that goal.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

Coming into this game, we knew it was more mental than physical. It was meeting force with force. It was being disciplined. It didn’t matter what scheme we had or what game plan we had if we didn’t have any effort,” he explained.</blockquote><p>While the rest of his team have also been struggling since the restart, Barnes went on and shouldered the blame for Friday’s loss.</p><blockquote>“I’ll be the first to say it’s definitely on us as veteran players — guys like myself. I’ll take responsibility for that because I’ve been to the playoffs, I’ve been to the Finals. I know the energy and effort it takes to win games and if you don’t bring that, you lose,” he added.“As a group, we have to learn that you can’t just turn it on.”</blockquote><p>Harrison Barnes did his part against the Nets, pitching in 16 points and six rebounds in 36 minutes. He drained 50 percent of his field goals, going 5-for-10 on the night. He averaged 14.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in his second season in SacTown.</p><p>The Kings’ defense, however, had no answer for the Nets’ two-pronged attack from Caris LeVert and Joe Harris, who combined for 43 markers.</p><p>The loss dropped Sacramento to 29-40, good for 13th place in the West. The Kings still have three games left, but it it would take a miracle for them to take that 8th and final playoff spot even if they win all those games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

This has placed the Kings in a significant dilemma, and head coach Luke Walton himself has addressed the issue.</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/mr_jasonjones/status/1284202869034373120">According to Walton</a>, they do not have any intentions of replacing Barnes on their roster:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Walton said Harrison Barnes means so much to the team, they're not going to give his roster spot away if he still wants to play when healthy, even if that means missing a game.</p><p>— Jason  Jones (@mr_jasonjones) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/mr_jasonjones/status/1284202869034373120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 17, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The best-case scenario here is that Barnes turns in a negative result after a couple of weeks. Once he is cleared, he can immediately join his team in the Disney World bubble.</p><p>However, given the current timetable, he might end up missing one or two of Scramento opening contests — at best. A couple of games might not be that significant in a “normal” scenario, but the problem is, the Kings will only be playing eight regular season games in the bubble.</p><p>The Kings are currently three-and-a-half games outside of the playoff picture in the West and it is needless to say that every single game will be crucial for the team in terms of their postseason hopes.</p><p>Nevertheless, Walton is confident that Barnes will be able to rejoin the team sooner rather than later, and will be able to provide a boost for the Kings once he does.</p><p>In his first full season with Sacramento, Barnes has averaged 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists, while also connecting on 1.5 triples on a 38.3-percent clip. He’s also logging 34.9 minutes per contest, so even if they wanted to, the Kings will be hard-pressed to find a possible replacement for the 28-year-old.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
