Why The Sacramento Kings Do The Deal
Realistically, the Kings charted this course some time ago.
At last season’s trade deadline, they sent Tyrese Haliburton to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Domantas Sabonis. The Kings made a statement – we’re tired of rebuilding. We want veterans who are ready to win now.
With that in mind, why keep Murray and Mitchell around? Sure, both have flashed tremendous potential. Neither is going to help Sacramento win next season as George could.
We’ve already outlined why he’s the perfect fit for this team. With two-star playmakers in Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox, the addition of an elite 3-and-D wing and shot creator could put this team over the top.
