The Sacramento Kings finished the season with a winning record for the second-straight year, ending with a 46-36 record. Despite this achievement, they fell short of making the postseason after being defeated by the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA Play-In Tournament. Looking ahead to the upcoming free agency, there are a few players who could potentially be a good fit for the Kings. While the team has limited cap space, they are still looking to enhance their roster around De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis.
Three Potential Offseason Targets for the Sacramento Kings
Mikal Bridges
One of the realistic options for the Sacramento Kings is pursuing Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets roster. With the Nets looking to make trades, Bridges is expected to draw significant interest. His defensive skills could greatly benefit a team like the Kings, who have struggled defensively in recent seasons. The only downside is that acquiring Bridges may require sacrificing key players in a trade with the Nets.
Kyle Anderson
While not a headline-grabbing name, Kyle Anderson proved his value with the Minnesota Timberwolves this season. He is a versatile player capable of guarding multiple positions and contributing off the bench. Anderson could serve as a reliable replacement if the Kings lose Malik Monk in free agency. Despite his unorthodox shooting form, Anderson can still be a valuable asset for any team.
Derrick Jones Jr.
Another option for the Kings to strengthen their wing depth is Derrick Jones Jr., currently playing in the NBA Finals with the Dallas Mavericks. Although he has had a limited role with the Mavericks, Jones Jr. has made an impact when given the opportunity. With solid stats in points, rebounds, and field goal percentage, he could provide the defensive intensity that the Kings need.
