The Sacramento Kings are gearing up for a significant offseason with aspirations of making the playoffs. After missing out last season, they are retaining core players Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Keegan Murray. The Kings opened the offseason by drafting Nique Clifford and Maxime Raynaud, both of whom excelled in the Summer League. Additionally, they secured Dennis Schroder through a trade, filling the gap left by De'Aaron Fox's departure.

While Schroder is an upgrade, Sacramento remains in pursuit of veteran talent, notably Ben Simmons. Reports indicate that Simmons is deciding among the Kings, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, and Boston Celtics. Although his All-Star days are behind him, Simmons has shown he can still contribute effectively off the bench, making him a valuable asset if he joins the Kings.
