Kent Bazemore says he could see himself in Sacramento for ‘the next couple of years’

The Sacramento Kings added quite a few players to their roster before this year’s trade deadline (four to be exact), and the player who’s made the most immediate impact has been Kent Bazemore.

The Kings acquired Bazemore, Anthony Tolliver and two second-round picks from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Trevor Ariza, Wenyen Gabriel and Caleb Swanigan. It wasn’t going to be hard for Ariza’s replacement to be a better fit on the Kings than he was because of how unsuccessful he was in his brief time with the team, but the expectations weren’t particularly high for Bazemore either.
