More Kings coverage from Sactown Sports

While the Sacramento Kings have been linked to some big names during the early stages of the offseason, it’s becoming more likely they will bring in a stop-gap option for their starting point guard vacancy.

After being linked to stars like Trae Young and Darius Garland in recent weeks, whispers grew louder over the days leading up to the 2025 NBA Draft that Sacramento might go in another direction to fill the role.

Instead of leveraging first-round picks and future flexibility for a player like Young or Garland, the Kings appear to be more comfortable with a stop-gap solution for the 2025-26 season.

More proof of this way of thinking was confirmed late Tuesday night when NBA insider Marc Stein reported that Sacramento is viewed as a ‘likely leading suitor’ for veteran guard Dennis Schröder when the NBA’s free agency negotiation period begins on Monday, June 30th.

Schröder, who is coming off his 12th NBA season, spent the 2024-25 season with Brooklyn, Golden State, and Detroit, where he finished with averages of 13.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 0.9 steals per game on 40/34/83 shooting splits (75 games).
