Best-case/Worst-case: Tristan Thompson
Sergio Estrada-USA TODAY Sports The Sacramento Kings acquired added to their crowded front court when they acquired Tristan Thompson before free agency this year in a three-team trade with the Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics, with the Kings sending Delon Wright to Atlanta.
From a talent perspective, the trade was a bit of a head-scratcher for Sacramento as the Kings sent out the most talented player in the deal in Wright. The deal, made days after the Kings selected Davion Mitchell was likely a move to clear out the logjam in Sacramento’s backcourt, but it also ended up furthering crowding the front court.
