Emotionally unpacking Tyrese Haliburton’s departure

The fans of this game are loud, opinionated, irrational, unrealistic and at most times hard to barter with when it comes to the love of their city and its people. Every once in a blue moon there comes a player who wraps their arms around a franchise and embrace it for all of its flaws.

For an organization like the Sacramento Kings, having a player like Tyrese Haliburton night in and night out when things got messy and derailed made this last year and a half a light at the end of the tunnel.

Quickly becoming a leader in his rookie campaign and carrying it over into his sophomore year, it didn’t take long for fans to fall in love with the smile and the personality that Hali brought to this roster.
