Why The Sacramento Kings Do The Deal
Meanwhile, the Kings need to avoid the mediocrity treadmill as well.
Sure, this team was happy to just make a playoff appearance this season. That won’t be the case next year. The Kings will need to win a playoff series or two in order to say they had a successful season.
This deal ought to help them do so. After all, Anunoby is one of the best defensive wings in the NBA. He’d be a major upgrade for the Kings.
Does parting with Murray sting? You bet. He just turned in a sensational rookie season. With that said, Anunoby is far more impactful at the moment, and the Kings are in win-now mode.
