Sacramento Kings Receive: G/F Zach LaVine
It goes without saying that the Sacramento Kings have been in a rut before. The situation they were in was in fact a historic one.
This team missed the playoffs for 16 consecutive seasons. That’s an NBA record. What exactly happened during the course of this event?
In all likelihood, the reasons for their failures can be attributed to a combination of factors. There were a number of poor draft choices made by the Kings.
At times, they got their priorities mixed up, and instead of building towards the future, they were building towards the present. Other times, they resorted to win-now tactics in order to achieve their goals.

Does this deal get them to the next round?
