The three team sign-and-trade deal sends Harrison Barnes to San Antonio and Chris Duarte, two-second round picks, and cash to Chicago, ESPN sources said.
This means former NBA champion Barnes will join the up-and-coming Spurs roster and add some veteran experience.
Barnes, 32, is no stranger to playing massive games.
Barnes has played significant minutes in various NBA playoff series, such as the 2014 and 2015 NBA Finals. He has been on some highly celebrated teams on the collegiate and professional levels of basketball.
The 2012 seventh-overall pick of North Carolina, with his 6-foot-7-inch stature and versatile abilities, could boost the Spurs’ defensive approach.
Barnes averaged 12 points and three rebounds per game for Sacramento last season.
The acquisition of Barnes follows the Spurs’ trade of guard Devonte Graham earlier on Saturday afternoon.
San Antonio dealt Graham and a 2025 second-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets for cash considerations, according to the team.
