28. Sacramento Kings (15-33)

A few days ago, it seemed like the Sacramento Kings were ready to deal George Hill to the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, in the days since, those talks have died. Perhaps it was trade smoke, but it’s clear that there was some sort of disconnect along the way.

Sacramento was also reportedly looking to deal some of their other young assets, specifically Skal Labissiere. The team was open to possibly dealing him in order to make room for the players that the Cavaliers would be selling in any Hill deal.

A year after trading DeMarcus Cousins, the Kings are still the Kings. And that’s not a good think. Shame.
