Sacramento Kings

Wishlist: Assets 

The list of things the Kings could use for Christmas is miles long. The front office has been a mess ever since the Peja and Chris Webber days. Since we’re just focusing on what their roster could use to become a better team, I won’t mention that they need to relocate back home to Kansas City. In a town that would love and adore them. In a city that would praise Boogie and make Sprint Center the loudest arena in the NBA. I won’t mention any of that.

Rudy Gay has been actively trying to get out of Sac Town, and has made it known he is not interested in re-signing with them this coming off season. Why not cut ties with him before the trade deadline and get some assets while you’re at it?

This holiday season, we’re trading away Rudy Gay for another wing and a 1st round draft pick.

Orlando has too many power forwards, and no true small forward unless you count Jeff Green. Aaron Gordon and a future 1st round pick for Rudy Gay would make a lot of sense for both teams. This would give Sac a very athletic compliment alongside Cousins down low, and also give them an additional early first round pick in the next two years.
