Report: Kings Open to Trading Down in Draft for Proven Player

Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix reported early this morning that the Sacramento Kings would like to move back in the draft if they can acquire a proven player in return.

Sacramento has been clear in trade talks: Kings more than willing to move back into the teens if a team includes a proven player in a deal.

Trading back in the draft for a proven player and a pick in the teens sounds great in theory, but that sort of trade rarely happens, and when it does, they rarely move the needle.
