Sacramento Kings Receive: G Donovan Mitchell

If Mitchell truly wants to play in a bigger market, he may not welcome this trade with open arms. With that said, if marketability is his concern, it could be tempting.

The Sacramento Kings are in the midst of a 16-year playoff drought. It’s the longest in NBA history. Wouldn’t revitalizing the league’s most long-suffering franchise do wonders for any player’s image?

Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings should be playoff locks following this deal. Between Mitchell, De’Aaron Fox, and Domantas Sabonis, they’d now have a trio of All-Star level players. Meanwhile, rookie Keegan Murray looks ready to replicate much of the departing Barnes’ production.

For the Jazz, this deal is obviously all about draft capital. Barnes and Holmes are both good NBA players, but they won’t be able to keep this Sacramento Kings team out of the league’s basement.
