NBA Rumors suggest that the Sacramento Kings are interested in signing veteran wing Nick Young for the upcoming season.

NBA rumors come out on almost a daily basis this time of year and fans never quite know which ones to believe.  A surprising rumor regarding the Sacramento Kings has surfaced in recent days, and it appears not to be going away.  The Kings are reported interested in signing veteran wing Nick Young.

Darren Wolfson first broke the news in the Tweet below.

Other reports of interest have surfaced on various sites, but most link back to Wolfson, so it remains unclear how interested that the Kings are in acquiring Swaggy P.

What Young would bring to Sacramento

Nick Young is a vibrant personality who would inject more energy into a young Kings squad.  He would also bring some veteran presence at age 33 with 11 years of NBA experience under his belt.  Swaggy P has proven to be an above league 3-point shooter with the ability to create his own shot and be some instant offense off the bench.

The Kings continue to search for another wing to add, and Nick Young fills that void.

The problem with signing him is he would be yet another well below average defender on the Kings roster.  Young at 33 would also take minutes from younger developing talents.  That is always a bit of a worrying idea for a rebuilding squad.

Final thoughts

NBA rumors suggest that the Sacramento Kings are interested in adding Nick Young to their roster for next season.  Young is a veteran wing who has played for five NBA teams during his career.  He has spent the last five seasons on the West Coast with the Lakers and Warriors, so perhaps staying in California and joining the Kings sounds enticing to the 33-year-old Young.  Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available on this story.
