Sean Cunningham, sports reporter and producer for FOX40, joined the Deuce & Mo Show to talk about how the Sacramento Kings stayed quiet at the NBA trade deadline, what teams could haunt the Kings down the road, and what’s to come for the team.

Topics discussed include:

  • His reaction to the Kings’ lack of moves at the NBA trade deadline
  • “I was expecting certainly A move especially to possibly address some specific needs on the team.”
  • Are there any potential buy-out candidates that make sense for the Sacramento Kings?
  • “The one that leaps off the page is Danny Green, for example.”
  • Why have second-round picks become so coveted?
  • Do the Sacramento Kings feel comfortable and confident enough to stay in the top six of the Western Conference?
  • “These teams that surround the Kings are not only being aggressive and trying to improve their teams, but these are teams that should have been better than the Kings, to begin with.”
  • How involved do agents get when trades are made in the NBA
