The Sacramento Kings might be on the verge of major but unexpected changes.
The current outlook for the team isn’t great, and there are concerns that they will be even worse this year than last.
According to Evan Sidery, the Kings are the team most likely to “blow it up” during the new season.
“League executives project the Kings as one of the most likely teams to blow it up. A roster with win-now players — Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Malik Monk — a slow start could lead them to becoming a top seller. Sabonis is viewed as having the most trade value,” Sidery posted on X.

The Western Conference is going to present the Kings with a huge challenge in 2025-26.
All of the teams around them are seemingly better, and the Kings were already struggling.
Their offseason addition of Dennis Schroder might help them, but it probably won’t be enough.
If the team is in a tough spot around the trade deadline, there is no doubt that they will be at the center of many rumors.
The good news for the Kings is that they have plenty of assets, as noted by Sidery.
They are home to several stars who could be attractive to other teams, such as Sabonis, Monk, and DeRozan.
Kings fans were hoping for success with these men on board, but it hasn’t panned out, and they want the front office to get the most for them.
That would probably come in the mix of future draft picks and some promising talent already in the league.
The Kings were showing potential a few years ago, but only briefly.
They are back in a tough spot, and it may be time for them to think about breaking everything down and starting from scratch.
