The Sacramento Kings are bad. Really. Really. Bad.
They have now gone 10 years without a playoff appearance and, during that span, they own the second-worst winning percentage in the NBA, according to Basketball-Reference.com. The only team that’s worse is the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Kings have been one of the 10 worst teams every year since 2007-08, the only franchise with that dubious claim. They’ve had top-10 picks every season since 2009, but only three of those—DeMarcus Cousins, Ben McLemore and Willie Cauley-Stein—are still with the team, and the Kings tried to dump McLemore on the Chicago Bulls at the trade deadline, according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.
