The Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks seem destined to be trade partners. Both teams have been underachieving this season and seem caught between malcontented veterans and over-hyped youngsters. Both teams look to pivot towards building around their young cores and off-loading their vets.
With the Kings recently ending their pursuit of Ben Simmons, they could turn their attention to the Knicks as a viable trade partner. The two teams could make perfect partners in a deal for Julius Randle, who has seemingly given up as the star of the Knicks. Randle doesn't seem built for New York and could thrive in a change of scenery, especially to the often-overlooked Kings.
