Sacramento Kings
Speaking of teams that need to accumulate talent at all costs…
The Sacramento Kings are in the midst of a 16-year playoff drought. Statistically speaking, there’s a decent chance that you weren’t born the last time this team made a postseason appearance. They need win-now talent with an emphasis on the “now”.
Rose would be of great service to this squad. As in Philly, Rose would be competing with the younger Davion Mitchell. Also as in Philly, internal competition won’t kill this squad.
Rose’s presence in Sacramento should push Mitchell to get better. If it doesn’t, it’ll be Rose serving as De’Aaron Fox’s primary backup.

A team in the King’s position can’t have too many ready-made contributors. There’s enough talent here to make the playoffs a possibility, but the Sacramento Kings need enough talent to make it a likelihood.
