With trade season starting tomorrow, the Sacramento Kings are expected to be big players. The problem is that they need to move their biggest stars, who are on massive contracts. To make trades involving them work, the Kings are going to need to build multi-team deals.
Assuming co-owner Vivek Ranadive can stay focused and stick to general manager Scott Perry's plan, the Kings are embarking on a roster rebuild that will take several years. By Perry's own estimates, the expectation is anywhere from three to five years before the rebuild will take shape.
A big part of the reason for that is the fact that the main players the front office needs to move are their biggest contracts by far.
