The NBA moratorium on free agent signings ends Friday, and the Kings have been silent.
They have looked to make deals, but are determined to avoid multiyear contracts that would affect next year's salary cap or don't fit with the team's long-term vision of adding younger players.
With no deals imminent, the Kings will focus on the trade market, looking to take advantage of having about $17 million under the cap to absorb a contract that could land a coveted veteran small forward. A deal could also mean taking on a contract another team finds undesirable and would be willing to package with a first-round pick, which the Kings lack in 2019.
