According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, the Sacramento Kings have shown interest in signing Tyus Jones after finding themselves in a need of a true point guard.
Sacramento has been exploring the idea of a true rebuild to become a legit playoff contender since last season’s trade deadline. It began with De’Aaron Fox being traded and Zach LaVine being brought into the organization.
To further this team, Sacramento’s front office finds it important to get a true point guard to lead their team and not that have that solely focused on players like LaVine.
Other reports have suggested that nobody is safe on the Kings, as the up-and-down organization is willing to take offers on LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Domantas Sabonis either during the offseason or leading up to next season’s trade deadline.
The Kings finished the season with a 40-42 record, which placed them with the ninth seed. They had a quick Play-In exit, as the Dallas Mavericks beat them 120-106. During the season, fans were shocked to see the Kings fire former head coach Mike Brown and former franchise player De’Aaron Fox.
In this year’s draft, Sacramento does not own a first-round pick. The only pick they have in this upcoming year’s draft is the 42nd pick of the second round.
