The Sacramento Kings have been in NBA purgatory for quite some time, and nothing suggests they have gotten out of it after the 2020-21 campaign.

There’s also the chance that Hield forces his way out this offseason, regardless of what the Kings have planned for him. Players that can space the floor and knock down threes at a high clip are wanted commodities in the NBA.
