Why The Sacramento Kings Do The Deal
This is a high-risk, high-reward gamble for the Kings.
If the last two seasons have been Davis’ new baseline, this could be a very bad deal for Sacramento. If they’re landing an oft-injured, non-shooting big man, this is far too much value for them to part with.
On the other hand, if they get the old Anthony Davis, they could be fringe contenders next season. His versatile defense will cover up for the offensively gifted Domantas Sabonis’ shortcomings.
The Kings haven’t made the playoffs in 16 years. It’s an NBA record. If they want to break it all costs, perhaps they’d rather avoid this risk.
