Longtime NBA reporter David Aldridge of The Athletic has been doing a series the last few days, ranking all 30 teams in the NBA and their offseasons in reverse order from worst to first. Unfortunately for the Kings and their fans, it didn’t take long for Sacramento to get a mention.
Aldridge listed the Kings as having the 29th best, or second-worst offseason in the NBA, only ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Aldridge’s rationale is that the Kings, who finished with the second-worst defensive rating in NBA history last year, are bringing back largely the same roster that got them that distinction.
