It should be no surprise that the Kings are scouring the rest of the NBA in search of a long-term solution at Point Guard. Yesterday we learned that there have been preliminary talks between the Heat and Kings regarding Goran Dragic, but there doesn’t seem to be anything imminent there.
Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Kings are one of the most persistent suitors for Minnesota’s starting Point Guard Ricky Rubio, a player many Kings fans were enamored with prior to the 2009 NBA Draft in which Sacramento selected Tyreke Evans.
From Woj:
The Sacramento Kings are the most determined of several teams expressing interest in finding a pathway to a Rubio deal, league sources said, but Minnesota president and coach Tom Thibodeau is reluctant to move Rubio – outside of bringing back a no-brainer package, of course – until Dunn’s progress illustrates this season that he’s ready to fully take over the team.
