The Sacramento Kings are expected to be active in the 2021 NBA offseason, as NBA trade rumors suggest that the franchise is looking to make deals that would help them get back into postseason contention. The Kings are one of the teams involved in the Ben Simmons sweepstakes but will have to make notable departures to facilitate a move of that magnitude.
Richaun Holmes is another Sacramento Kings player who has generated a lot of traction. Holmes is a free agent this offseason, and the 76ers are one of the teams that are looking to swoop for him. Buddy Hield and Marvin Bagley III could part ways with the franchise as well, and all these NBA trade rumors point towards the fact that the Kings' front office is going to be extremely busy before the season starts.
