The Sacramento Kings are a bit of a wildcard this offseason. No one knows exactly what they’re going to do, as they appear to be a team without clear direction.

They could begin a rebuild, or if they want to try to remain competitive in the Western Conference, perhaps they could look to acquire a star guard over the offseason.

Sacramento Kings Named Potential Offseason Landing Spot for Trae Young

Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report recently named the Kings as a potential landing spot for Trae Young, who turned down his player option with the Washington Wizards for next season in favor of free agency.

Young is expected to sign a new deal with the Wizards, but nothing is official until he actually puts pen to paper. If talks break down between Young and Washington, he could be seeking a new NBA home this summer.

“This is sort of the wildcard team, but the Sacramento Kings have a clear need for a point guard after trading both Tyrese Haliburton and De’Aaron Fox in recent seasons. And while the sign-and-trade possibilities probably don’t offer Washington the same kind of youth, they could lead to flexibility,” Bailey wrote.

“As for the Kings, a total teardown might make more sense, but there’s not quite as much incentive for those as there was a few months ago. And Young and Sabonis could develop some good inside-out synergy.”
