Why The Sacramento Kings Do The Deal
We’ll say this much: after this deal, a first-round exit won’t be acceptable for the Kings.
With that said, it shouldn’t be expected, either. Siakam is a defensive monster who can guard multiple positions. Any limitations that Sabonis has on that end should be mitigated by his presence.
Meanwhile, the combined playmaking between the pair should put opponents in a bind. That’s before you even consider the presence of De’Aaron Fox. The Kings should be the best offense in the league if they acquire Siakam.
Why not go for it? The Kings have already pushed this far. Surely, they’ve got title aspirations.

Adding Siakam might give them the best chance they’ll have at accomplishing those goals. If nothing else, it should get them out of the first round.
