Harrison Barnes is coming off another solid season for the Sacramento Kings.

The former UNC star finished the season with averages of 12.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists per contest while shooting 47.4% from the field and 38.7% from the three-point range in 82 games.

On Saturday evening, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Tim Bontemps reported that the Sacramento Kings are landing six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan as part of a sign-and-trade.

The San Antonio Spurs will land Barnes in the deal.

Via Wojnarowski: "ESPN Sources with @TimBontemps: The Sacramento Kings are agreed on a sign-and-trade that will land DeMar DeRozan on a three-year deal, send Harrison Barnes to the San Antonio Spurs and Chris Duarte, two second-round picks and cash to the Chicago Bulls."
