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.

According to multiple reports, the Sacramento Kings are expected to take offers on DeMar DeRozan. With Scott Perry becoming the new general manager, he may want to become aggressive and take a new approach with this organization.

The past regime brought DeRozan in through a sign-and-trade worth $74 million over the course of three years. By doing this, it would set up a “Big 3” around him, De’Aaron Fox, and Domantas Sabonis.

However, it all began to fall apart when Fox was traded to the San Antonio Spurs after both sides had a falling out. Sacramento was seen remodeling their team, which included Fox and former head coach Mike Brown.

Before the Kings decided to trade Fox, DeRozan went public saying he would “reconsider his future” with the team if they traded his teammate. The organization went through with the deal, as they could be looking to shop the veteran as well.

For a win-now team, trading for DeRozan could be the smartest option. He’s a great piece to a championship-contending team, plus a cheaper option. If being compared to the likes of Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

With Sacramento recognizing that, they may find it more favorable to trade him than to keep him. This would presumably launch a full rebuild around Sabonis and Zach LaVine.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, confirmed by the Sacramento Kings, interim head coach Doug Christie will remain with the organization as their permanent head coach.

Christie signed a multi-year contract Tuesday morning to complete his journey of being a former player of the Kings to their assistant coach to now their head coach. An incredible story to be told here.

Sacramento has been, and will continue, revamp their team to remain competitive in the Western Conference. Christie replaced Mike Brown as Sacramento’s coach in December.

For their front office, the Kings parted ways with Monte McNair immediately after getting bounced in the Play-In Tournament. Scott Perry took over to run Sacramento’s front office.

The team went 27-24 under Christie, while ranking ninth in offensive efficiency. A positive sign for their fans and for their future.
