The Sacramento Kings finished last season in NBA “No Man’s Land” yet again. The team was good enough to reach the Play-In Tournament but fell short after a turbulent campaign. In a bold move, the Kings traded away longtime cornerstone De’Aaron Fox and brought in Zach LaVine, reuniting him with former teammate DeMar DeRozan last season.
In a decision that puzzled some fans, Sacramento opted to keep LaVine alongside star center Domantas Sabonis. This offseason, the Kings added veterans Dennis Schröder, Dario Šarić, and Drew Eubanks, while committing long-term to head coach Doug Christie. With a re-tooled roster and hopes for a drama-free season, the Kings are aiming to surprise the Western Conference this year.
