The Sacramento Kings have gotten off to an absolutely brutal start this season with a record of three wins and seven losses. While they have a lot of issues to correct, some of this isn't their fault. The NBA handed them a savage schedule from day one of the season through the end of 2025.
Let's be clear in that no one is suggesting that the Kings are not the architects of their own basketball purgatory. There are a lot of great players on the team, and they are all giving 110% to win. The problem is the internal imbalance which leaves the roster lacking on defense and playmaking.
