There are high hopes and expectations for the Sacramento Kings this season. General manager Vlade Divac has put together a solid mix of young and veteran players in hopes that the Kings can end the longest current postseason drought in the NBA.
When Vivek Ranadive bought the team, he made a promise to the fans: “The Kings will be a competitive team again.” Is this the season Ranadive fulfills that promise? Can Sacramento become a fixture in the playoffs?
One thing that can derail Sacramento’s playoff hopes are injuries. Injuries are a teams biggest nightmare, as we saw last year with both the Lakers and the Warriors.
