It's not often you see this happen to a player, but the Dallas Mavericks traded Harrison Barnes and then played him, literally. Barnes started for the Mavs and scored 10 points to go with three rebounds and an assist in a 99-93 win over the Hornets. He's now headed to the Sacramento Kings while Zach Randolph and Justin Jackson are coming to Dallas in the deal.
