And if the Kings were tempted by a large-scale exchange during the season? In any case, this is what is suggested Shams Charaniawho confides that the Californian franchise intends to be aggressive on the transfer market.
A few months after returning to the playoffs for the first time since… 2006, Sacramento therefore intends to perpetuate its place in the Top 8 of the Western Conference. To do this, he will undoubtedly have to surround his De’Aaron Fox – Domantas Sabonis axis with a third player of All-Star caliber, as long as he is made available by his leaders.
Sacramento wants to take a step forward
This could thus lead the Kings towards the profiles of Pascal Siakam Or Zach LaVineeven OG Anunoby. Three players who are no longer untouchable in Toronto or Chicago, and who have the potential to take Mike Brown’s men to another level.
The advantage for Sacramento is that its GM Monte McNair has enough to interest some rival teams, both in terms of Draft capital and in terms of attractive contracts (Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter, Malik Monk or Trey Lyles, for mention only them).
We remember that last June, certain rumors already led the Kings to Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby, while Zach LaVine almost joined California in the summer of 2018, before being retained by the Bulls.
