ESPN suggests several potential trade targets for the Sacramento Kings, including Cam Johnson, Jerami Grant, Brandon Ingram, and Kyle Kuzma. While Johnson is considered the most likely acquisition due to his fit and the Kings' need for a wing player, the other options face challenges due to contract situations and Sacramento's limited assets.
Interim head coach Doug Christie has done everything he can to give this team life again, effectively communicating with the players and picking up much-needed wins in desperate times.ESPN's latest NBA power rankings , they moved the Kings up four spots to 20th but also suggested a few names for the team to monitor on the trade market.
'A five-game winning streak under interim coach Doug Christie won't likely do much to change the Kings' pursuit of a deadline upgrade, although it might change their target,' Kevin Pelton writes. 'The Kings could use help in the frontcourt, where they lack a reliable backup for Domantas Sabonis and have limited size at the forward spots. Jerami Grant, Brandon Ingram, Cameron Johnson, and Kyle Kuzma are logical targets to fill that void.' Cameron Johnson continues to get brought up in any trade rumors involving the Kings, making him the most likely target if they do make a move for a wing ahead of February's deadline. The other three options of Jerami Grant, Brandon Ingram, and Kyle Kuzma remain unlikely, mainly due to their poor contract situations and the limited assets Sacramento has available in any trade. Johnson's elite 3-and-D ability makes him an intriguing target for any NBA team, allowing the Nets to raise their asking price as offers are likely to flood in ahead of the trade deadline. If the Kings are looking to make a move without giving up too much, looking to Grant or Kuzma would be better options but are certainly worse fits in Sacramento's system
