The first day of free agency saw a lot of players land in new homes. Paul George is going to Philly, Chris Paul to the Spurs, Hartenstein to OKC, Tobias Harris to Detroit, Jalen Smith to Chicago, Naji Marshall to Dallas, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to Orlando, Mason Plumlee to Phoenix, and Derrick Jones Jr to the Clippers, among others. And yet the Sacramento Kings have not made a move to add a free agent yet. The Kings have retained Malik Monk and Alex Len, but that’s it.
Free agency is not won or lost on Day 1. There’s still plenty of time for the Kings to bolster the roster via signings or trades, but it’s always frustrating to see other teams landing impact free agents and crickets from the Kings.
The Kings are rumored to be engaged in trade talks for Brandon Ingram, and there’s talk that the Jazz could be open to moving Lauri Markkanen (although there have been no rumors connecting him to the Kings). We’ll see if anything materializes on the trade front.
As always, we will post updates for any Kings news, but in the meantime use this thread to discuss any news or rumors from around the league.
