The Athletic‘s Sam Amick joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross to share his thoughts on Haliburton’s emergence since being traded by the Kings, contemplate if Haliburton would have found this success if he remained in Sacramento, and much more.
Plus, Sam and Dave discuss the Oklahoma City Thunder’s future outlook as they prepare for their first NBA Finals appearance in 13 years.

Topics Discussed: Tyrese Haliburton, OKC, Sacramento Kings
Could OKC winning the NBA Finals inspire other teams to follow in their footsteps and adopt the Sam Presti approach?
Is Oklahoma City built to sustain this success for the long haul?
The Thunder will likely lose multiple players on their current roster due to financial restraints, but they have a treasure trove of first-round picks in the coming years, including two first-round picks next month.
How real are the rumors that link San Antonio to Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo?
“I think it’s insane if [the Spurs] don’t at least look at it.”
Sam reports that discussions are underway between the Bucks and Antetokounmpo, which are expected to lead to a resolution regarding his future with the organization.
Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers are one win away from the NBA Finals.
How did Indiana capitalize on the Kings-Pacers trade, while Sacramento fell short of maximizing its window?
“They probably should have found a way for [Haliburton] to play with [De’Aaron] Fox.”
If the Kings had traded Fox to the Pacers instead of Haliburton, would we still view Haliburton in the same regard?

More Kings coverage from Sactown Sports
Brett Siegel of Clutch Points joined The Allen Stiles Show on Wednesday to discuss the recent rumors surrounding Sacramento Kings guard DeMar DeRozan and the potential market around the league for the veteran scorer.
As reported by multiple sources in recent weeks, new Kings general manager Scott Perry is expected to shop DeRozan around the league.
Will he have to combine draft picks with the future Hall of Famer to get valuable returns?
Plus, there’s a clear need for a point guard so maybe they can accomplish two things in one move. Watch for the Miami Heat as a potential partner.
Reports also say that the Kings have interest in Boston’s Jrue Holiday and Toronto’s RJ Barrett.
