The Sacramento Kings have experienced a disappointing 2024-25 NBA season. As a result, the team is evaluating potential roster changes to enhance their competitiveness and overall effectiveness for the upcoming season.
The Kings concluded the regular season in 9th place within the Western Conference with a 40-42 record. They entered the play-in tournament aiming to secure a playoff berth. However, their championship aspirations ended with a 106-120 defeat against the Dallas Mavericks.
In the wake of this disappointing outcome, the Kings aim to implement changes to their roster. Recently, Marc Stein has shared crucial insights concerning the team’s strategy for the upcoming offseason.
“The Kings are already being painted as a likely leading suitor for Dennis Schröder when free agency begins, @TheSteinLine has learned,” Marc Stein wrote in his recent post on X.
