At this point, the whole league knows that the Kings want Russell Westbrook. NBA insider Jake Fischer recently reiterated this interest, elaborating on the implications. To make room for the 17-year veteran, Fischer said, they may go so far as to part ways with talented young guard Devin Carter. That seems like a questionable, if not detrimental, move for Sacramento.
Unfortunately, it's quite similar to what the Milwaukee Bucks seem poised to do themselves. Barring a trade to clear roster space, the signing of Thanasis Antetokounmpo all but ensures the loss of Andre Jackson Jr., a third-year player who is clearly a better asset on the court.
