The Sacramento Kings have had some really good point guards in recent years. One they traded for Domantas Sabonis (Tyrese Haliburton. The other, De’Aaron Fox, was traded for Zach LaVine plus three first-round picks.
Now, according to Grant Afseth of RG Media, the Kings are once again “motivated” to find a new point guard solution. They’ve even reportedly expressed an interest in landing one of two All-Star guards, Darius Garland or even a big fish, like Trae Young.
Some might say the Kings should try finding their next point guard in the draft instead of chasing someone like Garland, who’s 25 years old. Meanwhile, Young, while he has a tantalizing skillset, is already 26 years old.
While Garland has been linked in trade rumors, there is no guarantee that the Hawks will make Young available this offseason. If they did, it would likely take a pretty large trade offer to pry the four-time All-Star away from Atlanta.
The Kings don’t have a first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, so it makes some sense that they’d target a proven solution at the point guard position in an attempt to win as many games as possible next season. Yet, is that the best path toward helping them win a championship?
