Sacramento Kings showing 'some remorse' over handing Harrison Barnes a five-year, $88 million deal

Harrison Barnes signed a long-term deal with the Kings earlier this summer

The Sacramento Kings are currently facing a significant battle to lock down the long term futures of Buddy Hield and Bogdan Bogdanović. Both players have been offered new deals, although the influential duo is holding out for a higher salary. Due to this, Shams Charania of The Athletic is reporting that the Kings regret giving Harrison Barnes a significant deal earlier this summer:

The Kings also have set a precedent in talks with Hield based on the five-year, $88 million deal given to Harrison Barnes in the offseason, a deal sources say the franchise has already expressed some remorse over due to its impact on contracts to come.

Through 28 games with the Kings last season, Barnes averaged 14.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. If Hield doesn’t reach a deal with the Kings by next week, he will become a restricted free agent next summer. Meanwhile, Bogdanovic has until June to pen a new extension.
