The Sacramento Kings are still interested in signing Russell Westbrook, which would force them to make another move that could potentially benefit the Detroit Pistons.
Marc Stein reported that the Kings were still in on Westbrook, saying:
“As we've been reporting since July, Sacramento is known to have real interest in signing Westbrook but has maintained throughout the offseason that its preference is to move out a guard (with Devin Carter believed to be the most available King) before adding the former MVP.”
The Kings haven’t made a smart move in a long time and this another head-scratcher, as they’d be giving up on a cost-controlled former 13th pick in the draft for 36-year-old Westbrook, who is hardly going to make a difference in whether the Kings are good next season.
