The Sacramento Kings are a team that many people will have their eyes on as we get closer to the NBA trade deadline. They should be one of the more active teams in the league as an argument could be made for them to be buyers or sellers.

Only 3.5 games behind the fifth-place Denver Nuggets, the Kings are one good run away from really putting themselves into the middle of the mix in the Western Conference.
Becoming sellers would also not be a surprise. The Sacramento Kings have been unable to find any consistency this season and shaking up the roster could be the avenue they travel. If this is what they choose to do, there are plenty of players that will be made available.
