There is little doubt that the Sacramento Kings need a big piece to solidify themselves as a contender in the Western Conference.

If Paul George becomes available this summer, should Sacramento pick up the phone and try to acquire the nine-time All-Star?

During Monday’s edition of The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross, the guys laid out what it would take (from a salary standpoint) to trade for George, who could also opt out of his $48.7 million player option for 2024-25 and become a free agent.

Would a Kings ‘Big 3’ of George, De’Aaron Fox, and Domantas Sabonis put Sacramento in a new tier? Dave and Jason discuss below:

When is the next Sacramento Kings offseason date of interest?

For the first time in two years, the Sacramento Kings will be crossing its fingers for luck during the upcoming NBA Draft Lottery.

The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery will be held on Sunday, May 12, 2024, in Chicago, where Sacramento will have the 13th-best odds of securing the top pick.

How the Lottery works: The 14 teams that missed out on the NBA playoffs are eligible for the Draft Lottery. The final odds were determined after the regular season, and tie breaks were settled between teams with identical regular season records.
