The 27 year-old small forward recently opted out of the last year of his contract that would have paid him $25.1 million in 2019-20. It has been long rumored that Barnes and the Kings were looking for a long-term solution, and it appears that they are heading towards an agreement once NBA free-agency kicks off on Sunday at 3:00pm.

After being acquired in a trade-deadline deal on February 7th, Barnes enjoyed a solid second-half of the season as he averaged 14.3 points, a career-high 5.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game for Sacramento. Over his 28 games for the Kings, Barnes shot 45% from the field — up from his 40% average in Dallas — and 40% from beyond the three-point arc.

As the Sacramento Kings work towards securing Harrison Barnes with a substantial four-year, $88 million contract, the team aims to solidify its roster and build on the momentum gained in recent seasons. This strategic move underscores the importance of investing in key players to maintain competitive edge and stability. Meanwhile, in the world of football, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi face uncertain futures in European football, highlighting the dynamic nature of sports careers and the strategic decisions involved. Just as the Kings prioritize retaining Barnes to enhance their prospects, football clubs and players must navigate complex decisions to shape their legacies and impact in the sport.

Sacramento has longed for stability at the small-forward position, and loved what they saw out of Barnes in his short stint in the capitol city. With a big offseason ahead, the Kings have their eyes set on their small forward for the next four years.
