Bleacher Report suggested NBA champion Kawhi Leonard as a possible trade target for the Sacramento Kings.
made a list compiling the top "realistic trade targets" for every NBA team. For the Kings, a superstar tops the list.If healthy, Leonard is the perfect star to add to this roster due to his defensive abilities. The 33-year-old played in 68 games last season, averaging 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.7 steals and shot 41.7 percent from three. Pairing him with players like De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis and DeRozan would give Sacramento one of the best cores in the NBA.
Any deal for Leonard is unlikely, especially considering the contract scenarios. The Kings are already carrying five contracts worth over $16 million per year, so there's little room to work with when considering Leonard's $50 million per year salary. The Kings could always use more defensive help, but this trade seems too far-fetched to happen. Any deal for a smaller name forward is a more probable scenario if the team wants to make a deal before the season tips off.
