The Sacramento Kings are only 11 games into the season, and the whole thing feels like a wash already. That doesn't mean it's time to give up. The Kings could still put in a respectable showing in 2025-2026 simply by benching Dennis Schroder and starting Russell Westbrook.
How the Kings ended up in this position is kind of crazy. Even though it feels like a lifetime has passed, it wasn't that long ago that Sacramento had two of the best young point guards in the league in De'Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton. Now, they're both playing somewhere else.
