The Sacramento Kings had a rough 2024-25 season, missing out on the playoffs for the second consecutive year, but a clean house could serve them well. The Kings

The Sacramento Kings appear to be on the verge of a rebuild, and this mock trade allows the Lakers and Grizzlies to compete.

Well, Giannis Antetokounmpo is reportedly "open-minded" about considering a trade away from the Milwaukee Bucks, per ESPN's Shams Charania. And that could be enormously significant for the Warriors, considering the two-time MVP has "been known to be a dream target of the Warriors for a long time," per Sam Amick of The Athletic.

After a disappointing end to the season, all eyes are on how the LA Lakers will act in the offseason. It goes without saying that the franchise needs a Center, who can curb the defensive frailties as well as support Luka Doncic and LeBron James in the front.

Usually, it takes great teams to make the NBA Finals. However, some stars were so great, they dragged mediocre teammates to title contention.

Of course, the Kings sent their protected 2025 first-round pick to the Hawks in the trade that landed them Kevin Huerter in 2022, a trade that did not work out well for Sacramento. Because of this, the Kings will not have a first-round pick in next month’s draft but they do hold the Spurs’ second-round pick due to the Fox trade earlier this year.

The Royals made the playoffs each of the next four seasons, but did not advance past the Western Division finals. The franchise moved to Cincinnati in 1957-58 and eventually became the Sacramento Kings in 1985-86. They have yet to reach the NBA Finals once more.

The Sacramento Kings enter the 2025 NBA offseason facing more questions than answers. Just two seasons removed from snapping a 16-year playoff drought, the Kings now appear stuck in a frustrating middle ground.

The Dallas Mavericks' improbable lottery win grants them the coveted No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. While Cooper Flagg is the consensus choice, the opportunity to trade for a proven superstar could reshape the franchise's trajectory.
