We see whether the Sacramento Kings should buy or sell before the February 10 NBA trade deadline.
The Sacramento Kings looked to end a 15-season playoff drought with a young core in 2021–22, but the season didn't materialize that way. The Kings are looking like a lottery team once again, and now may be the time to truly hit the reset button and blow it all up. Contrary to what fans might think, Sacramento has some decent players who can assist a competitor.
If the Kings don't make a deal for D'Aaron Fox, Buddy Heald, Harrison Barnes and Marvin Bagley, it's because the franchise has folded. Sacramento should see what happened to the Boston players trapped behind Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown. There's no way for Davian Mitchell and Tyrese Halliburton to play behind Fox and Heald. It is time for another rebuild with a clean slate in terms of salary. While retaining some good core players in Mitchell and Halliburton, the Kings can get back some important assets for all of the above players.
