Tyrese Haliburton on Pistons drafting Killian Hayes over him: I was just angry
When the Pistons’ time to select arrived, Tyrese Haliburton’s agent gave him a signal, motioning his hand across his neck, to indicate it wouldn’t be his name called. “What is this, they’re not picking me?” Haliburton said, mimicking his agent’s motion. “And then it flashed up, Killian Hayes, and I was like, ‘What!?’ In that moment I was frustrated, but I knew the Kings were my floor. But, still in the moment, I was just angry. I was like, ‘What do you mean? They need a point guard and they’re not picking me?’ So that one definitely felt the most personal.”

Haliburton (32-7-6) postgame:
“I was just going to keep shooting until I missed. Having fun playing basketball. I didn’t know how many minutes I was going to play, didn’t know how my leg would feel. I felt good today, even after the one-leg dunk. So that’s positive for me.” – 11:57 PM

East leading the West 104-89 at half. That’s 193 combined points.
Lillard has a game-high 22 points, Haliburton with 18 — all on 3s (6).
Lillard’s coach, Doc Rivers, is coaching the East and Haliburton is still on a minutes restriction.
Now, time for Jennifer Hudson. – 9:33 PM

– Talked about how he looks at Twitter for negative comments at the half when he is playing bad.
– Also said he’s extra motivated against the Pistons because they took Killian Hayes over him. pic.twitter.com/K5UPu82L5L – 4:17 PM

More on this storyline
“With the Pistons, I knew they needed a point guard,” Haliburton explained. “So, in that moment, I already felt like I was the best point guard in the draft, but LaMelo was touted as the number one guy. So, when he got drafted, I was like ‘It’s gotta be me.'” -via Detroit Free Press / February 19, 2024
Omari Sanfoka II: Weaver on releasing Killian: “It was a numbers game. With the trades, we had to take in a certain amount of players. There was an amount of players we had to release, and Killian got caught in that … tremendous young man and still 22. Hopefully he can carry on his career.” -via Twitter @omarisankofa / February 9, 2024
Omari Sanfoka II: Monty on Hayes: “He had some good moments with us. Sass was playing at a pretty good clip and then Monte came back, and I wanted to try some new things … I think he would agree he had a great opportunity here and I wish him the best.” Said he hopes he finds a new team. -via Twitter @omarisankofa / February 8, 2024
