Sacramento Kings

“The Sacramento Kings added three (and possibly four) rookies to their ranks this summer, but they didn’t go all in on a full-scale rebuild. They added useful veterans that you’d expect to see from a contending team, but they didn’t build anything substantial around DeMarcus Cousins.

They neither improved nor got substantially worse. As always, the Sacramento Kings just kind of…are.

As has been the case for a decade, the Kings are adrift at sea, devoid of direction. They didn’t trade Cousins, nor did they assemble anything but another 30-win team around him. They brought in rookies, but they couldn’t even do that completely right, passing up on Marquese Chriss’ long-term potential for that curious Papagiannis pick. Either trade your star or go all in to help him.”
