When the Sacramento Kings made the decision to sign Precious Achiuwa, they chose to release Isaac Jones. It was a stark reminder of why the Kings need this rebuild as they continue to favor veterans while letting the development of young talent slide, something that has cost them big.
Fans have watched the Kings essentially descend into madness over the past several seasons. The franchise has struggled to remain even remotely relevant thanks to poor roster construction and bad culture from the ownership all the way down through every level of the organization.
The breaking point seems to be the 2025-2026 season, which the Kings have opened with an abysmal record of three wins and 11 losses.
