2016 NBA Free Agency: 1 move every team needs to make to be contenders

Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings were actively trading down for more picks on draft night this year. They send out the 8th pick and Marco Bellineli and pulled in 5 prospects, including the rights to sign Bogdan Bogdanovic. It was the kind of move that the King shave needed to make for a long time, getting more assets and prospects instead of trying to buy cap space with their draft picks like last year.

The Kings still have about $10-30 million in cap space too, which isn’t a bad spot to be in for the next two years. They are likely to part ways with Rajon Rondo, and could use a couple veteran backcourt players to compete now. A backup guard or two that could share minutes with some of the younger and developing players on the Kings is a good idea. The Kings are rumored to be targeting Matthew Dellavedova and Dion Waiters, I don’t mind Dellavedova as he is a decent two-way player with serviceable ball handling and a good shooting form. Waiters, as a restricted free agent, however, might be a bit of an overpay for what he brings to the table. But I’d even look at Brandon Jennings or Kent Bazemore. Bazemore, in particular, could be a three-and-D wing that could pair well with Boogie.
