1. Iman Shumpert

Iman Shumpert was brought to Sacramento as part of the deal that sent George Hill to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Unfortunately, the former NBA champion never stepped foot on the court for the Kings with injuries to his knee and foot.

Double unfortunately for Shump, with both Buddy Hield and Bogdan Bogdanovic not going anywhere anytime soon, potential minutes seem all but accounted for at the shooting guard position.

Considering how little Iman is likely to play even if healthy, the Kings might want to make use of the one year and $11 million left on his contract by scouring the market for a potential trade partner.

In return, Sacramento likely wouldn’t get much given his health status, but it would probably be better to take a flier on some players rather than having someone as inconsistent as Shumpert get bench splinters all season long.
