The Sacramento Kings are trying hard to get a trade (or two or three) done

It’s Thursday and we’re at rumor No. 2 of the week as it pertains to the Sacramento Kings and NBA trades. That may not seem like a lot because, in fact, two is not a large number. But it actually is once you consider the other handful of Kings-related trade stories of this season that are still floating around.

Just last week, Marc Stein of Substack reported there’s a “rising belief” that the Kings will trade Harrison Barnes by the trade deadline, which makes sense when remembering how Barnes was supposed to be dealt at the previous trade deadline.

There's no agreement in place and work still to do on a Westbrook/Lakers deal, but talks with Kings on a possible Hield deal had also been ongoing between two teams, sources said. https://t.co/FV78eXb1Wh
