The Sacramento Kings went and got themselves in a great big hurry. Somewhere along the way they traded a rebuild for something else, and now they are sprinting towards a very uncertain fate.
You could see it coming before this past season, but it was on full display once DeMarcus Cousins got ill. They didn’t have the patience to ride out the season with Michael Malone or Tyrone Corbin. They couldn’t wait until the offseason to hire George Karl.
They are making the moves that a team makes when they are trying to get over the hump for a championship, not the 30-win plateau.
