The Sacramento Kings ended last season with a dismal 27-55 record, their worst since the 2011-2012 season where they only won 22 games. Their main goal this year has to be to win games. With the team not having a 2019 first-round pick, barring a lottery win, there is zero incentive for Sacramento to tank.
This doesn’t mean they’ll be playoff contenders, but a meaningful improvement of at least five to ten wins has to be their aim. Without gains in the win column, it’s hard to envision a scenario in which General Manager Vlade Divac and Head Coach Dave Joerger are around past the 2019-2020 season.
