All eyes are on the Toronto Raptors as the 2026 NBA trade deadline nears. Having sustained a postseason level of play throughout the first half of the 2025-26 regular season, many are wondering if Toronto will move to improve its rotation in hopes of a deep postseason run. If that ultimately proves to be the case, then speculation exists that RJ Barrett will be the player the Raptors move-a possibility that could bring franchise great DeMar DeRozan back to Toronto.

Jonathan Kuminga has been cast in many roles during his eventful Warriors career. A 2021 lottery pick with limitless potential. A rookie who played spot playoff minutes for the 2022 champions. An inconsistent scorer who oscillated between starting and the bench for the better part of four years. A restricted free agent seemingly on the verge of leaving this summer before agreeing to a two-year, $46 million deal.

They are an unmitigated disaster (tell me if you've heard that before!), sporting the league's fifth-worst offense and third-worst defense. Sacramento will also be without star big Domantas Sabonis (meniscus tear) for the next month. The beam is shut off, and the Kings should be on the precipice of a fire sale ... if owner Vivek Ranadive will commit to it.

Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals is the site of the most infamous conspiracy theory in recent NBA history. The Sacramento Kings were playing the Lakers for a trip to the Finals down in L.A., and despite losing on a revolting, miraculous Robert Horry buzzer-beater in Game 4, they won Game 5 and were in good position to win Game 6.

Doug McDermott has agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal to return to the Sacramento Kings, marking his fourth season with the team.

According to sources, Malcolm Brogdon is set to meet with the Sacramento Kings, as the Wizards are open to facilitating a sign-and-trade deal involving him.
