The Kings are preparing to tear down and rebuild, and the three main players have been put on the shelf. Westbrook is really unlucky.

Recently, a piece of heavy news broke out in NB. According to sources in the American media, the Sacramento Kings are seriously considering making drastic adjustments to the team's lineup. Since the start of the game, their record has only been 3 wins and 7 losses, ranking 11th in the Western Conference. This performance is obviously far from the team's expectations, and they are ready to put several major players on the shelf.

The Western Conference has always been fiercely competitive, and it is difficult for the Kings to stand out with their current lineup. The last time the Kings tasted the playoffs was back in the 2022-23 season. At that time, they lost to the powerful Golden State Warriors after a fierce battle in the first round. Since then, the team has seemed to lose its way and has never been able to get back into the playoff picture.

The Kings' lineup is not bad, with LaVine, DeRozan, Sabonis, Schroder, and Westbrook, but it is always close. LaVine and DeRozan have good statistics, but neither of them has much leadership qualities. According to well-known reporter Carmichael Dave, the management has made up its mind and is preparing to evaluate the attractiveness of several core players in the trade market. This includes the inside pillar Sabonis, as well as LaVine, DeRozan and many other players.

Among these people, Sabonis is undoubtedly the asset that has attracted the most interest from other teams. The Kings are likely to officially put this All-Star insider on the trade list soon. An obvious signal is that the team's tactical system this season is no longer entirely centered around him. This season, he is averaging close to a double-double per game, but his efficiency has declined compared to last season.

For the Kings, it is completely necessary to tear down and rebuild. These players are completely uncompetitive, and change means new hope. The pity is that Westbrook has just found a new home and now he has to rebuild. As a veteran, even if he can finish this season, he will not be able to escape being purged in the future.
