The Golden State Warriors are looking to get back to the top of the Western Conference while the Sacramento Kings continue to be one of the worst teams in the NBA. Could these two teams make sense to get together for a potential trade given those circumstances?
It begins with the Warriors and what moves they believe need to be made to continue to rise in the West. Golden State missed the postseason in each of the last two years because of injuries.
The team is looking to get back to full health this season and that means they have a chance to return to the top of the league. This will be thanks to Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. After being away for two years, Thompson has a chance to make a huge impact on this team once he is back on the floor.

The Kings are quite the opposite. They currently hold the league’s longest playoff drought at 15 years and it does not look like it is going to end anytime soon. Sacramento does not have the personnel to compete and they might not have the right option as a head coach either.
Luke Walton could be on the hot seat, especially if the Kings get off to another rocky start this season. This means the front office could look to make some impact moves at the NBA trade deadline to realign the team with different assets for the future. The Sacramento Kings have plenty to offer certain teams if the trade lines up.
Here is what a potential team between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors might look like over the first half of the season.
