Why This Trade Would Benefit The Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings is currently half a game out of a postseason spot at 12-12 in the Western Conference. They did not come into the season as a playoff-caliber team but they have overachieved thus far and it is because of De’Aaron Fox.
De’Aaron Fox is averaging 23.4 points and 6.7 assists per game during what looks like an All-Star start to the season. Harrison Barnes is second on the team with 16.7 points a night while shooting 41% from three-point range while Richaun Holmes has continued being a rock solid interior contributor.
This means the Kings would be able to hold onto their two leading scorers in a deal like this one and an intriguing center option. They would do this while adding the NBA’s leader in points per game.
Bradley Beal is a game-changing player. He can get it done in many ways on the floor. Bertans is another option that would give the Kings depth and prowess from beyond the arc.
At 27-years old, Beal has plenty of good years left in the league and will continue to be a force. The Western Conference is extremely competitive and that is not going to change. The Kings are on the cusp of the playoffs early in the season and this move could take them to that next level.
It has been years since the Kings have been relevant. This is a deal that could give them a dynamic duo with Bradley Beal and De’Aaron Fox. This is something that Sacramento needs if they want to climb up the standings in the Western Conference.
