have won eight of their last nine games but are still looking at moves to improve leading up to the trade deadline.
But it's easy to see why Sacramento has been repeatadely linked to the sharpshooter. Johnson would fit perfectly in the Kings system on both sides of the ball. He can thrive from beyond the arc getting wide-open looks from De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozan, and Malik Monk. Johnson is a rare player available for trade that can impact both sides of the ball. It's no surprise that he's McNair and the Kings' "Plan A" leading up to the deadline.forward John Collins would give the Kings more size and depth in the frontcourt, which has been another area of weakness on the roster this season.
His combination of 43.8% shooting from beyond the arc and his ability to jump around the rim would give the Kings a true lob threat, but allow them to keep their spacing. If Sacramento is somehow able to bring in Collins while keeping Trey Lyles, they would have a great front-court bench duo with two bigs who can step out and hit a three.
