Sacramento Kings rumors: Looking to make trades

Although the Sacramento Kings recently sent Jason Terry to the Houston Rockets, that may not be the only move they make before the season begins.

With DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay both currently on the roster, it appears as if the Sacramento Kings have their core set but they need additional bodies to help build their team. Given that, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee suggests the front office will continue to seek out additional trades and possibly the addition of another free agent or two.

“The Kings will waive Gee and Hopson and save salary, hoping the flexibility will facilitate trades for players who can help the Kings become a playoff contender,” says Jones. “The team also was seeking more financial freedom to add free agents – possibly another ballhandler on the perimeter and another big man who can provide shot-blocking and athleticism – without paying the luxury tax.”

Jones cites the power forward position as one the Sacramento Kings’ front office is unhappy with and could attempt to improve. Currently the team employs Jason Thompson, Reggie Evans and Carl Landry at the four, though none have proven themselves to be a starter and Landry continues to have injury woes.

Sacramento is also said to be seeking a way to cut salary, though will likely find that difficult if they don’t move Jason Thompson.
