Watch Harrison Barnes Get Traded to Kings Mid-Game vs. Hornets

The Dallas Mavericks had more on their minds than the on-court product during Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets, as they traded forward Harrison Barnes mid-contest.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Mavericks agreed to send Barnes to the Sacramento Kings for Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph.

Los Angeles Lakers All-Star LeBron James took to Instagram to comment on the fact Barnes was traded as the game was going on:

“So let me guess this is cool cause they had to do what was best for the franchise right??? Traded this man while he was literally playing in the game and had ZERO idea. I'm not knocking who traded him because it's a business and you have to do what you feel what's best but I just want this narrative to start to get REAL/CHANGE and not when a player wants to be traded or leaves a Franchise that he's a selfish/ungrateful player but when they trade you, release , waive, cut etc etc it's best for them! I'm ok with both honestly, truly am. Just call a ♠️ a ♠️!!”

James' comments are notable with rumors circulating around Anthony Davis after his agent, Rich Paul, let it be known that the big man no longer wants to play for the New Orleans Pelicans. Paul represents James as well, and the Lakers are trying to pry Davis away from the Pelicans.

As for Barnes, he can at least take solace knowing the ninth-seeded Kings are closer to the Western Conference playoffs than the 11th-seeded Mavericks.
