Rumors have surfaced regarding the Sacramento Kings potentially trading for Enes Kanter. What would the three benefits be if this acquisition were to happen?

The Sacramento Kings have been a feel-good story this regular season. After living in the basement of the Western Conference standings for over the last decade, the purple and white are finally a decent team as they stand at a record of 20-21 halfway through their campaign.

Even though the Kings look like a team on the rise, there are definitely still ways for them to improve their roster. With that being said, a recent rumor has risen in the NBA community pertaining to a possible trade the Kings might pull off.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski, NBA Insider for ESPN, the Sacramento Kings are in talks with the New York Knicks about a potential deal that would involve Enes Kanter and Zach Randolph. Wojnarowski also mentioned that more players could be part of the deal, as well as a third-party team who could help make the salary caps work.

Throughout his NBA career, Kanter has played with three different teams in seven-and-a-half seasons. During that span, the 26-year old is averaging around 12 points, eight rebounds, and one assist per contest while making around 54% of his shots from the floor and 78% of his shots from the free-throw line.

With the rumor out that the Kings could acquire Kanter before the trade deadline, would it be a good move by Vlade Divac and company if they were to pull the trigger?
