For the Sacramento Kings and their fans, free agency is usually pretty lackluster. It’s a known and obvious fact that Sacramento isn’t the most desirable place to live in California, especially for young, millionaire NBA players. But players can get over the location as long as the team wins, which is the typical train of thought in other small markets like Milwaukee or Utah as well. The Kings haven’t done much of that in quite some time, and as a result their chances of drawing in talent have been slim to none.
