Why The Sacramento Kings Do The Deal
In a worst-case scenario, the Kings are essentially swapping nothing for nothing. After all, Holmes fell out of this team’s rotation in 2022-23. Dozier was injured.
The Kings didn’t need either of these players to have the success that they did this season. So, why not gamble on Isaac? If he’s hurt, he’s hurt.
Nothing will have been ventured here, and nothing will have been gained. On the other hand, if Isaac can get healthy, this could revolutionize the Kings.
He is exactly the player they need alongside the defensively limited Domantas Sabonis. If he can just get healthy, who knows? The Kings could do more than just play in the first round next season.
