The NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and the Sacramento Kings remain unchanged. Despite a flurry of rumors over the past several weeks, no trades materialized for the Kings, and the team will finish out the year with the same roster it began the year with. I'm struggling to think of the last time the Kings made zero roster changes in a season. It's been a while, for sure.
Several Kings players were in trade rumors right up to the deadline. Kosta Koufos and Ben McLemore were reportedly discussed as part of a package going to the Chicago Bulls for Pau Gasol, in a rumor that had an inexplicably long shelf life.
