Kings seeking wing help

The Sacramento Kings are not where they want to be at 13-13 on the season. While there is a level of optimism that exists internally, the Kings are primed to make some sort of addition in the trade market this season with Kevin Huerter, Trey Lyles, and first-round pick Devin Carter being valuable trade assets. Huerter and Lyles combine to make $24.8 million, giving Sacramento a solid buffer to explore the trade market with. There is still nothing to suggest the Kings would want to part ways with Keegan Murray.
Nets forward Cam Johnson and Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma are two players the Kings held interest indating back to the offseason, league sources said. The problem with pursuing Johnson is that Brooklyn is looking for expiring contracts in return, which doesn't match Huerter and Lyles since both players are under contract through the 2025-26 season. LaVine is another player that the Kings have long held interest in, yet many league personnel feel targeting the Bulls star isn't in Sacramento's plans this year.
Another player the Kings have had serious interest in through the years is Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels. At this time, Minnesota hasn't given any indications to rival teams that they are wanting to move McDaniels, sources said. A handful of teams would be interested in the defensive forward if the Timberwolves were open to discussing trades, which they aren't based on what is being said around the league at this juncture.
