Kings Viewed as Obvious Landing Spot for Bucks Star Following Past Interest

Kings Viewed as Obvious Landing Spot for Bucks Star Following Past Interest originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Sacramento Kings have had an interesting offseason thus far as they have made multiple moves, though more changes could be on the way.

Of course, the Kings are coming off yet another season in which they missed the playoffs and they entered the offseason with a key decision to make on whether they wanted to begin a rebuild.

It is clear that the Kings are not starting a rebuild as they signed Dennis Schroder in the free agency to fill their void at the point guard position left by them trading De’Aaron Fox last season.

Sacramento also added both Nique Clifford and Maxime Raynaud in the draft and traded Jonas Valanciunas to the Denver Nuggets for Dario Saric.

With these moves, the Kings have filled some key holes on their roster but they are reportedly still looking to add a forward during the offseason with Jonathan Kuminga being one of the names linked to them.

Unfortunately for Sacramento, the Golden State Warriors reportedly turned down their sign-and-trade offer for Kuminga and they may have to look elsewhere to add a forward to their roster.

FanSided’s Tyler Watts recently mentioned one player the Kings could target this offseason if they miss out on Kuminga.

“The Milwaukee Bucks could trade Kyle Kuzma to the Kings for Malik Monk if Sacramento fails to land Jonathan Kuminga. The Kings have been interested in Kuzma for years,” Watts wrote.

Watts makes a great point about the Kings’ reported interest in Kuzma over the last handful of seasons and with the Bucks possibly looking to move on from him this summer, Sacramento could be a potential landing spot for him.

Of course, it has also been reported that the Kings are looking to move on from Monk and a potential Monk for Kuzma swap could be on the table if they are unable to land Kuminga this summer as they continue to look to upgrade their roster and make a run at the playoffs next season.
