Given how badly the season has started, no one would be shocked to find out the Sacramento Kings were intentionally tanking to get a better lottery pick in the next draft. That strategy only pays off if your team is even remotely capable of developing young talent, which the Kings are not.
Sacramento gets a lot of criticism for how old their roster is, particularly their starting lineup. It usually contains some combination of DeMar DeRozan, Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, and now Russell Westbrook. That group has an average age of 33, which is definitely on the older side in the NBA.
