After a challenging season, the Sacramento Kings are poised for significant changes this offseason. They ended their campaign ninth in the Western Conference and were eliminated in the Play-In Tournament by the Dallas Mavericks. Notably, the Kings fired head coach Mike Brown in December and traded star guard De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs, acquiring Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls in the process.

Heading into the offseason, the Kings face crucial decisions regarding star players like DeMar DeRozan, Domantas Sabonis, and LaVine. Meanwhile, reports suggest they are actively shopping Malik Monk and Devin Carter in an effort to secure a first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft after their original pick was deferred to the Atlanta Hawks. Monk's strong performance last season makes it somewhat expected, but Carter's name in trade discussions is surprising given his recent rookie struggles.
