If the Sacramento Kings want to make a splash on the trade market, they may need to include a fan-favorite guard.

Sometimes, NBA rumors are nothing more than a speculative comment taken too far. With an anonymous NBA executive suggesting Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James could end up on the Sacramento Kings by the trade deadline, the trade rumor mill is in full swing.

The Sacramento Kings have repeatedly been linked to the Brooklyn Nets and Cam Johnson, but the competition to obtain the sharpshooting forward is going to be steep this trade season. Forbes’ Evan Sidery reported that the Golden State Warriors are interested in Johnson and that the Nets would likely require Jonathan Kuminga be included if a deal is made.
