NBA Trade Deadline candidates: Richaun Holmes, Sacramento Kings

As the Sacramento Kings try to right the ship (once again), there’s a strong sense that this team could emerge as a seller leading up to the NBA Trade Deadline. Even though they’ve been playing better as of late, this team still is out of the top 8 in the West and would benefit from a bit of a shakeup.

One potential move is dealing Richaun Holmes, who would bring a nice return for the franchise. At 27, Holmes is having his best season to date while averaging 13 points and eight rebounds per game on 67 percent shooting from the field.

If the Kings are looking pivot, Holmes could emerge as a trade candidate. We know this team isn’t above trading anyone on their roster (especially after the curious decision to let Bogdan Bogdanovic walk). Keep an eye on Richaun Holmes as a trade target heading into the NBA Trade Deadline.
